University of Mary applies for D1 hockey

If they get approved, it’ll be great for Minot State and U of Jamestown to have another D1 opponent close

Great for Minot to have a near-by team and great for the 30 24-year-old Canadiens who will get signed on to play there. Another little-known or unknown school looking for marketing through “club sport” athletics. I’m all for advancing the quality of play at the ACHA level (A stands for American), but not with >95% rostered Canadiens, under the table scholarships, and highlighting schools with the admissions standards of Chuck-E-Cheese. Not what the ACHA needs.
