Haven't we done this thread already?
Minnesota-Duluth and Wisconsin were once new programs, too.
Maybe if we stunt the growth of college hockey and eliminate
Johnny-come-latelies like UMD and Wisconsin, maybe the Sioux will make the
NCAA Tournament again someday.
Isn't that really the crux of your post, Eric. Keeping teams out of college
hockey isn't the way to ge UND back to prominence.

        HOWEVER BY letting MSU and NDSU or an OMAHA NE you are going to
weaken
the league and the League Schedules and then your going to get games like
the Dartmouth VS UND 8-2,or games like the U of M and NMU 10-0 and 7-0
and at what expense to the bigger schools making who are trying to place
high in the seeding for the NCAA's or how about teams on the Bubble Like
UND
