Bemidji State is a good hockey school, men and women, even if they aren't among the elite. Good to have them on the schedule.
im right there with you. would much rather see us plan on a trip out east or west each year to play someone decent from HE or the NCHC. Being able to go on the road and play a good team well that you don't normally see is incredibly important for the postseason and helps you grow. would envision denver was probably pretty happy they played at providence and BC this year early in the season. really can help your team growI may be in the minority but until St Thomas shows they are a competitive program I have no interest in wasting NC games on them.
Kind of surprised NCHC didn't take Mankato for their 10th team.UST to NCHC. Wow. Huge move for them. They will be competing with the other MN teams for recruits very, very quickly.
They play in the Summit League with UND, Omaha and Denver in other sports. I can see why they are more attractive than MSU going forward when factoring in $ and location. People forget MSU was largely irrelevant pre-Hastings, and I expect them to start trending back that way. This will hurt SCSU and MSU the most, and to a lesser extent could hit UMD a bit. Wouldn't be surprised if UST becomes the new prime spot for gopher rejects.Kind of surprised NCHC didn't take Mankato for their 10th team.
Agree. I don't think it will affect Minnesota too much.They play in the Summit League with UND, Omaha and Denver in other sports.
