Here is my problem with the proposal of dropping baseball and adding hockey. In the greater sense of being an institution of the State of North Dakota, baseball is a much more assessable sport to the youth of ND. With the Legion and Babe Ruth programs, there are a lot of kids playing baseball. Youth involvement in hockey is much, much more limited. Not only due to the lack of quality rink's but it is also a very expensive sport to be involved in.

I have my own personal opinions on hockey as a sport, but I will save them for another day.
