    Yeah I know a big topic of interest. The Frozen Four are Minn, Union(?), BC and The Fighting Sioux of North Dakota (can you still call them that?).

    It's a different world where Union is a sports power, where Lake Superior State and UMass-Lowell are Hockey Powers.

    BTW: I saw where they are going to tear down the Joe, what is Detroit going to replace it with?

    Doc here's a story on the new arena.

    http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20140204/NEWS01/140209946/city-council-approves-new-hockey-arena

    In the picture with the article, in the upper right the large white roofed building is Ford Field and directly to the right of that is Comerica Park.

    Presently, North Dakota does not have a nickname.
