No UND players have ever played against Minnesota, but they are reminded of the rival

[BleedGopher]

per the Grand Forks Herald:

No matter where they walk in the locker room area, there are constant reminders of what has been arguably college hockey's most heated rivalry.

That's why UND coach Brad Berry believes that his players have a strong understanding of the history, despite the fact that not a single one of them has ever played against the Gophers.

"It's on our walls all over the rink," UND coach Brad Berry said. "We haven't played them in a few years, but the history and the tradition resonate throughout this building and our program."

If the players take a right turn at the bottom of the stairs, they'll see more photos.

There's Joe Finley leveling a Minnesota player near the team bench.

There's Matt Frattin charging Gopher forward Kevin Wehrs in the northeast corner of The Ralph—a hit that earned Frattin a one-game suspension.
