        I think that Fargo should get a new arena and could use a new hockey
arena, the rink the Ice Sharks play in is not up to Division one standards.
I can't believe that NDSU doesn't have a team already it would be a fun and
heated rivalry. A hockey game in the Fargo dome would rock, 9,000
screaming fans watching two teams play some intense hockey, it would
bring a new meaning to Sioux-Bison week. I have heard that the
Administration is woried that Hockey will affect football, I think that
is poor argument. In fact dan hammer and Ed Schultz talked about it
on Bison hockey.
