Matt Frattin got in trouble one too many times this offseason, I guess. First there was the lawnmower incident with Joe Finley, then a DUI. UND decided to wash their hands of him once and for all and kicked him off the team.
The Schloss blog talks about it more. You can read it here.
Personally, I think this sends a message to Sioux players, both current and upcoming that if you fuck around, they will come down on you. I'm glad to see this. Now, the question is, how will this affect the Sioux next year?

CCHA votes down Alabama Huntsville
In a move that is shocking and surprising and to me, very very sad...the CCHA today voted down allowing Alabama-Huntsville into its league, thereby all but guarateeing the folding of that program. Why the CCHA wouldn't want to keep a 12 team league is beyond me, but supposedly "cost" and "economic structure" isn't jiving with the league.
Whatever, way to kill off a team there CCHA. Way to go. I've always hated Michigan; now I hope everyone else does as well.

BSU and UNO to join the WCHA
As was widely expected, both Bemdji and University of Nebraska-Omaha were admitted to the WCHA earlier in the summer. This not only saved the Bemidji program, which was in danger of folding, but will probably allow Alabama Huntsville to enter the CCHA, thus saving every team in college hockey and ensuring our favorite sport survives.
I personally am glad to see teams survive. That is all.

The NCAA Sucks
I was browsing my buddy Joe's blog and read this story. Apparently it's not a new story, but still new enough to me that it really ground my gears.
Basically, the NCAA doesn't care that a coach lets ineligible players that have crappy ACT scores play, but if a player is honest and comes forth with an honest mistake, he is banned and stoned and crucified. Like Jesus, minus the stoning and rising from the dead.
I hate the NCAA. You should too.

UNO gets Dean Blais...is the WCHA next?
I got a call from the USCHO WCHA Correspondent yesterday saying that Dean Blais had been named the head coach of University of Nebraska-Omaha. This didn't come as a huge surprise, but certainly makes things interesting. When checking up on my morning reading, I headed over to Goons World and found this post.
I certainly hope for Bemidji's sake that this is true.

VV coming back!
Chris VandeVelde is coming back for his senior season. This is a huge boost to the Sioux team and IMO, makes them definite top 3 canidates in the WCHA next year
