North Dakota hockey coach speaks for Fighting Sioux nickname
Grand Forks, North Dakota (AP)
University of North Dakota hockey coach Dave Hakstol said he feels he’s part of a “silent majority,” that supports the school’s Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. Now he wants to speak out. “We associate a great degree of pride – we talk about history, we talk about tradition when we talk about Fighting Sioux hockey, Fighting Sioux athletics, and the name Sioux and the logo that goes with it,” Hakstol said during his regular weekly session with the media. “Right now I feel I’m part of what I consider the silent majority, a silent majority that I believe strongly supports the nickname and the logo,” the hockey coach said. |
