In UND news, the Sioux start their season this Friday against Alberta in
an exhibition match.  Also, several pages over the summer said that UND
goalie Kvalevog would not be returning.  However, according to the
official roster, he will be playing this season.  Whether or not this is
good news for UND or the rest of the WCHA remains to be seen.
