Could we play at scheels arena?

It would be about the same number of scholarships, but i don't know the title 9 rules, so maybe its not possible.

People may say hockey is only a niche sport in the uppermidwest and out east. they are correct, but we are located in the uppermidwest and it would make ndsu more popular in the tri-state area.
Ill get shit for saying this but your right. Baseball sucks up here because of weather and well never draw well or be competitive.

We live in a hockey state and there is no reason why we can't be competitive within 5-10 years. We live in a region where there is a ton of talent. We have a great facility just waiting for us. You can't ignore the success the Force have had. Heck, at times they outdraw our basketball team with a team of 17 year olds. The atmosphere at that place is electric and its below D1 Hockey.

Even MSUM recognizes the opportunity. We better jump on the opportunity.

If Bemidji can have a good Hockey team there is no reason we can't.

I would get season tickets in a heart beat.
