March 7, 2013 If you're a UMD Bulldog fan, you should find the time to attend this months Bulldog Club Athletic Luncheon, which is being held Friday, March 8th.
December 20, 2012 It's been nearly 24 hours since Bob Nielson announced he is leaving UMD after 14 years to jump up to take a position as a Division I head football coach. It's a nice opportunity for Nielson, but it was an emotional experience when he broke the news to the Bulldogs.
March 28, 2012 After a disappointing game against Boston College, the UMD Bulldogs must now replace their top goal scorer. It's fantastic news for J.T. Brown and is a tribute to his success with the Bulldogs. That's part of being a successful hockey program and UMD is always building, but the team will miss him in the short term.
July 14, 2011 More details are being unveiled on the new conference our UMD Bulldogs are ready to join.
A new Division I men's hockey conference, officially announced Saturday, officially got a name Wednesday at a joint press conference with six new member schools that will open play in 2013-14.

April 12, 2011 Because it NEVER gets old...
The University of Minnesota Duluth men's hockey team won it's first ever NCAA National Championship on Saturday at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The Bulldogs beat Michigan 3-2 in overtime to claim its second national championship this year, the football team won the Division II National Championship in December
April 11, 2011 I came across this nice article about Bill Watson, an assistant coach currently for the Bulldogs who of course was on the 1984 team that suffered a heartbreaking loss in their bid for a national championship. I remember watching that game and I think anyone who did feels a little redemption now, if not to the degree of someone who lived it.
The pain had lingered for 27 years, deep in Bill Watson's heart. He will never forget the precise moment when it evaporated: 9:17 p.m. Saturday evening, when Kyle Schmidt buried the puck in the Michigan net.
April 9, 2011 I was a goal off on my 3-1 prediction, but UMD finished off their post season run by defeating Michigan 3-2 on a pretty OT goal. What an amazing finish to the season as our Bulldogs bring home a national championship.
Much attention was paid to Minnesota-Duluth's dynamic top line of Jack Connolly, Justin Fontaine and Mike Connolly entering the Frozen Four, and rightfully so considering their 172 points this season were the most by any trio in college hockey.
Yet the Bulldogs have plenty of show horses, none more valuable than Kyle Schmidt.
Schmidt scored the goal Saturday night they'll be talking about for years in northern Minnesota, converting 3 minutes, 22 seconds into overtime to defeat Michigan 3-2 and give Minnesota-Duluth its first NCAA Division I men's hockey championship.
April 7, 2011 Go Bulldogs! It went down the wire in a game that started fast, with 5 of the goals being scored in the first period. In the end, UMD prevailed 4-3 over the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and will play for the national championship Saturday night.
April 7, 2011 As the UMD Bulldogs celebrate a successful season with a trip to the Frozen Four, Scott Sandelin is one of four very focused coaches and they prepare their teams to be ready mentally and physically.
