When I was in the Cities last weekend some guy was giving us crap about
having a bunch of Canadians on our the UND team. Ok here is the Break down
we have 8 Minnesotans on the team 6 North Dakotans and 12 Canadians also.
For the fans like Goldy (I am refering to his little sign that said UND
Manatoba's Pride on ice) Manatoba is closer to Grand Forks than MPLS/St Paul
140 miles to about 300. One response we for one of these fans was that we
are a Division one program there for you recruit the best athletes.
