    Exactly. Same goes for the Mooch.

    It's definitely not a problem at Tech. The five fans that attend games there are pretty nice.

    And it's certainly not a problem at UAA. They treat visiting fans like royalty up there.

      They might not be too amicable towards visiting fans from UAF. I know I wouldn't be too pleased with people if they sent a giant space bear to blow up my city.

          Sounds like a great idea, one that michigan should adopt.

            Within the last two years, Tech has implemented a prerecorded "Captain's Message" which is played immediately prior to the National Anthem. Basically, the current team captain just recites your run-of-the-mill "sportsmanship" script.

            This was done in addition to our arena announcer continuing to remind fans about the rules of the arena right before the opening faceoff (limited mostly to a strict "no smoking" policy) and to treat all fans, coaches and players with respect, blah, blah, blah...all while the Misfits are standing directly above the scorer's table and are busy yelling "SIEVE!" at the opposing goaltender.

            I'm convinced you can bring in any type of sign/gimmick and get away with yelling just about anything at the MacInnes, as long as the mother of an opposing player doesn't get her panties in a bunch and whine to the arena staff. Therefore, I'm quite happy with the way the Misfits conduct themselves in spite of the lack of rules and arena cops, because there's nothing more unoriginal than using profanity simply because you can.

                  You won't be the only ones on that wagon if this "Code of Conduct" is strictly enforced. I'm just not sure how much I am willing to spend if I know I'm going to get thrown out for dropping the F bomb after Kristo misses the net on the power play.

                    UND & Engelstad Arena didn't just have a "Kumbaya" moment this week and issue "Fan Code of Conduct" because a couple of bloggers and newspapers jumped on their back.

                    A fan almost lost his life in the Parking Lot. It could of happened at any WCHA arena or any NCAA school. The Code of Conduct is designed to prevent violent incidents and hopefully lead to a better fan experience. UND is to be commended for acting swiftly and comprehensively on this issue. Kudos to them.

                    You better believe UND will enforce these policies because there is still the matter of a lawsuit or two to resolve over the parking lot incident.

                    That being said, I'd expect these policies to make for better game night experience and that is why every WCHA school should jump on this bandwagon. Its a no-brainer.

                    Should fans "Sieve" the opposing goaltender? By all means. But it also gives the fans the right to not be harassed or bullied, all without having to miss any of the game.

                      There is no need to swear at games. It is just a game and not life and death.

                                Fans will be courteous to visiting teams and guests. We will cheer for the Sioux, not against our opponents.
                                Hmm... pass.
