I think that club-level sports are interesting. It used to be that club sports were just that - loosely organized clubs who just played pick-up games with whoever they could get their hands on. I was surprised when I found out that its actually fairly organized, with club teams traveling long distances, and playing for championships.
I think that college's athletics web pages should have at least a minor link to their club-level teams. I think they should get at least some recognition.
The Forum has been reporting the NDSU hockey club hockey scores this year, but thats about all the recognition they recieve. If anyone wants to see the NDSU club team in action they play SDSU at the Coliseum this Saturday(3:30) and Sunday(4:00).
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
Is there a web-page for the club team? It would always be fun to have another team to follow.
I looked around for an NDSU club hockey web site but couldn't find one. They will probably have one set up for next season. Next season would probably be a better time to follow them anyway since the team should be much more improved. Right now the team is struggling and needs some time to gel togather.Originally Posted by dakotadan

I went to the game...unfortunately I was dragged out early in the third period. But the Bison looked to be in control most of the game. 5-2 when I left.
I think for club teams, there has to be a good deal of self-promotion. Put up a decent web page, and then see if you can get links to it. The school won't be your webmaster, but might, give you a link.
There are a lot of club teams that have no web page at all, or if they do have one, it's a couple years old.
went and checked out the club hockey last night ndsu vs umduluth....good time, we won 9-3. I would highly recommend it for the casual hockey fan just because its bison sports and its like a pickup game atmosphere, plus it costs all of a dollar with a student id.
I think it's great that people can form clubs to play when their school doesn't sponser the sport at the NCAA level.
I wonder what the finances are like for the club hockey team at NDSU.
Did the Bison actually play UMD's actual team, or does UMD also have a club team that exists and plays other club teams?? Cause if we beat UMD's actual team 9-3, then we might have a reason to establish an actual program.
