The University of North Dakota hockey team is moving forward and not looking back after being swept by the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs (5-3 L, 5-2L). The Fighting Hawks need points if they want to contend for a top-four finish in the NCHC standings. To say this weekend’s series against the University of Denver Pioneers is important is an understatement. Despite\u00a0all the hand wringing, the sky is not falling. In fact, the sun came up on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
Today, as I was walking in the hallway to the press room in Ralph Engelstad Arena, I spotted a picture of former Fighting Sioux All-American\u00a0 Matt Frattin scoring the game-winning goal against Denver on March 19, 2011, at WCHA Final Five. That game was an instant classic and almost seven years later, UND and DU are still having memorable games. For UND fans, this is a memory of good times. Even better, a week later, UND would pound DU again in the Midwest Regional 6-2.<\/p>\n
