Let me start out by saying that the trip that I took to North Dakota was one
of the best that I took while in college. We meet up with the Sioux fans,
got invited to their pep rally, and had a great time. Real nice people.
Then, these same people had a wonderful time throwing an obviously newly
killed badger onto the ice.
 
Throwing dead animals (endangered animals at that) onto the ice has nothing
to do with hockey, or common decency for that matter. I wonder how people
would react if a dead Sioux Indian were thrown out onto the ice. Other than
this disturbing incident, I think Sioux fans are great.
