That grilled cheese chirp got me geeking, s/o Shane Gillis
G big respect for you. Taking us behind the scenes Netflix style. Never before seen aspect of college hockey. Keep up the good work. Praying for your mom and girlfriend.
Legit insane lol incredible recruiting video for ND as well (not that they needed it).
When your locker room is better than the Calgary Flames.

Glad you loved the tour, Mikey. It’s a place that is the “gold standard” of college hockey 👍
Jackson Blake is gonna be ELECTRIC in Carolina. Seth Jarvis 2.0 kids a monster on and off the puck
My son, who plays youth hockey, and I had the privilege of touring the Notre Dame locker room. Very similar in appearance and amenities for the players. He eventually was able to play a game on Notre Dame ice. It was a fantastic experience. This was an awesome piece. Great job. What I love is how much this player loves his team, coach, his family, his church, and is so humble at the same time. Respect!✊

I came to the comments to say this similar thing. Notre Dame has a very similar lockerroom to the North Dakota lockerroom. I dare say, a tad better. Along with the commenter in this thread, I too play at Compton Arena on thursdays for the beer league. At the end of the season, the teams and family members get the opportunity to tour the lockerroom. I wish I could post pictures here but it is quite an impressive experience.
I work at the Ralph and have met Louis dad. His dad comes from Calgary to watch him, super nice dude.
Here after Arizona State goalie TJ Semptimphelter confirmed he's transferring to UND in major part because of this video
Still can't believe they dropped the Fighting Sioux name and the head logo... best name logo, colors, brand in all of hockey imo

What an amazing facility. Treat the players well and they will play for the staff. Simple in collegiate hockey and only a few do it, but most say they do. Great video, thanks for doing it. 😊
Wicked episode G and company keep it up these are frickin awesome !
Born and raised EGF… There is nothing like the pride I feel for this arena and program. Lucky to have gotten to play, practice, and work out here growing up… Let alone go to every home game for years and years. SIOUX YEAH YEAH!!!
Love how my grilled cheese clip made the cut. Honor having y’all down in the student section. Go Sioux!!

Palace on the Prairie, welcome to the Fighting Sioux family!
I was able to catch a game there last season… it is absolutely amazing!! The atmosphere is even better. Grand Forks is all about UND Hockey, such a great environment 💚
Omg the “they make grilled cheese at night” chirp 😂😂. So happy Shane’s stories have evolved into this Let’s fucking gooooooo
6:07 the guy with the towel is me! 😂
awesome episode, great work G!
Should have stopped by the Little Ralph in TRF. Nicest high-school rink in the country too.
Unbelievable from top to bottom!!!! Literally top notch. I have to go there before I die!!!!!
This is by far the best thing spitting chiclets has done
Awesome stuff G. What a setup those boys have.
Pam can’t stop me from running. Hell of a vid boys
G, these are awesome. Keep them coming. It’s a shame they did away with the fighting Sioux logo!!
Well done G. Keep these cranking out, definitely upped my interest for the championship & frozen four this year. Hoping for a BC BU final that we can force to Whit to live stream
He makes grilled cheese at night HAS to be a Shane Gillis reference no?
Jay Caufield broke his neck,then played hockey with Lemuiex,amazing!

UND alum here…. 1999-2003. Got the best of both worlds. Saw a National Championship, had 2 years in the Old Ralph which was legendary and 2 years at the New Ralph! I used to be inline e penalty box seats to! So glad the traditions are still alive!
This is an OUTSTANDING video! What a great place to be!
Great video, remarkable venue. Wow
I forget how old I was but I went to a camp there for a week. Boarded at the university which was super cool and we got worked by the current players. It was such a cool experience. Unfortunately the arena didn't look like this when I was there. I mean the walls and history was but the skill room was different. I think the weight room was the same but I don't remember the other room attached. I think we saw the lockerroom but it wasn't this one that's for sure. Saw a lot of cool things and definitely an experience I'll never forget
Nice work G! It's a special place. Palace on the prairie
Great job with these Grinnell
Favorite team of college hockey. And I'm a player from eastern Massachusetts. Don't ever give up the "Sioux "
Louie is gonna wear the C next year.

What's great is seeing all the Fighting Sioux logos and theme's still present deep in the Ralph... The Engelstad's cannot be thanked enough for what they paid for a heck of a facility. Too bad they squandered their chances again at a title this year.
Really impressed with Jamernik. Not a huge hockey guy so I don’t know what his professional prospects are but I’m sure UND would love to keep him around in some future capacity. Well spoken and down to earth ambassador for the program.

As extravagant as this is, it's good for North America hockey. With a vibrant US college league it will just up the compete level and quality of hockey in general. They will match if not already surpass the Canadian feeder system (OHL, QMJHL, WHL)

Wow. What a facility.
Whats crazy about college hockey is that teams can have a 17 year old (ex. celebrini) and a 24 year old (ex. jamernik) playing together.
I want to see the smaller colleges snd see what theyre working with the struggles they might encounter.
I have season tickets up in that Organ bar and was at that game
Man I love everything the chiclets guys are up to these days. What a brand they’ve built here man keep it going!
