As someone who has followed WCHA hockey for over 8 years, I can certainly
attest that North Dakota DOES play goon hockey.  Aggressive, defensive hockey?
Once in Grand Forks, they started a major brawl BEFORE the opening faceoff.
Real defense that. North Dakota fans are knowledgeable? Right. In the last
few years, they've taken to throwing real dead badgers on the ice when
the Wisconsin Badgers visit. Real class and knowledge of the subtlies of the
game. If the WCHA had anything approaching strict enforcement of the rules
against fighting, the Souix would skate 3 men for 60 minutes a game.
