UND Cuts Women's Hockey Program; Forgets to Tell Team

[GoMuskies]

So due to budget cuts, UND had to get rid of its excellent women's hockey program. ESPN covered the story here: http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/art...women-swimming

Not mentioned in the article is that someone forgot to tell the team they were being axed. AFTER the announcement that the program was being cut, the team was still on the ice practicing for next season. OOPS!

For all the tweets about UND getting cut. No they do not know because they are still on the ice preparing for the upcoming season

That is pathetic.

What is more eyebrow-raising is the fact that ND is in a position of having to cut anything. All this money. All this money followed by a bunch of spending and expense to keep up with the Jones's?

ND = North Dakota

This is North Dakota. Not Notre Dame. They cut baseball (and I think golf) last year as well.

They made the NCAA Tournament this year, but I believe they're also leaving the Big Sky, so they don't get to keep any of the money.

Note that ND is the University of North Dakota. It's not Notre Dame. Sorry it that was misleading 'dash.

No problem.

It seemed strange on both counts - that South Bend would screw up that badly from an administrative standpoint and that they didn't have enough money to keep it going.

Notre Dame also doesn't have an arena as nice as the one in the picture! LOL

Actually, The Compton Family Ice Arena is much nicer than this arena looks in the picture. Compton is not as big, but is newer and more impressive than this sheet, in my opinion.

yeah Compton is a pretty nice arena for college hockey. Haven't been to North Dakota's though, so I can't really compare.

Notre Dame's place looks nice now that I check it out. I'd still go with North Dakota's palace, but I assumed Notre Dame played in the same dump as their basketball team.
