Bismarck, ND. Usually, the media try to stay out of Coach of the Year voting, but this year, with owner Thom Brigl making the best choice he ever has made by hiring Bismarck native Layne Sedevie, and with the Bobcats playing so well on the ice, the on-ice effort has led to Layne being rewarded. [...]
Bismarck, North Dakota. The growl is not subsiding. Instead, the growl is getting louder and louder, as the Bobcats continue their relentless attack toward another national title. On Friday night, the team that leads the pack in the Central punched its ticket to the post season. There are so many accolades that this reporter could [...]
Bismarck, ND. On Friday night, the Bismarck Bobcats magical season continued as they played Coulee Region from Onalaska, WI. In the first period, it looked like Coulee Region would put the chill on the Bobcats. Coulee was without one of their top players from last year, Conner Gaarder, who now is a freshman at UND. [...]
Minot, North Dakota. The North American Hockey League must do a better job of protecting its players. We’ve seen a lot of Bobcats get injured and have broken jaws and separated shoulders. It’s all because the game is not being monitored tightly enough, especially when the Bobcats play Minot. If the game was monitored tightly, [...]
Bismarck, North Dakota. When you are playing a lowly Minot team that only has three wins on the season, and you have 18 wins on the season, the scoreboard better reflect those 18 wins. It was Aaron Nelson’s turn to perform magic in the net, and on this night, it would be Oliveri and Sommer [...]
Bismarck, North Dakota. If you are the Bobcats, you obviously haven’t been paying attention during weekly opportunities to get prepared for the Aberdeen Wings. On Wednesday night, the Bobcats were burned twice by Steven Oberzanek. Had someone told the Aberdeen Wings that you have to play 60 minutes against the Bobcats, it could have been [...]
Onalaska, Wisconsin. After being anemic on Friday night, the 2011-12 Bobcats returned to their Bullish form with a 4-1 win against Coulee Region on Saturday. These Bobcats are going to be hard to keep pace with if anybody else wants a shot at the Central Division cup, let alone hockey’s ultimate prize, the Robertson Cup. [...]
Bismarck, ND. With the Bobcats on the precipice of getting win number 13, luck wasn’t a factor. Coach Sedevie had two choices for goalie he could have called into action on Saturday. He could have gone with Tommy Burke but instead he chose Bismarck Century product Aaron Nelson, who for a good part of the [...]
Aberdeen, SD. After being given a 1-0 lead on a Castan Sommer goal, Tommy Burke inexplicably gave the Aberdeen Wings a 4-1 lead. But Coach Sedevie yanked Burke and put in the young goalie Aaron Nelson. Nelson quickly showed that he could be cool under pressure by coming in in one of the toughest situations [...]
Bismarck, ND. Every off season, the players that you say goodbye to are always special in their own way. For example, number 31 Ryan Farragher left his mark on Bobcat hockey history with a 3-0 win over Fairbanks in the 2010 Robertson Cup championship. The reason why these Bobcats are such an early season surprise [...]
