The legal drinking age in America is foolish. It should be reduced to 19. And I certainly don't wish for these hockey players to be dragged through the mud for an evening of foolery. However, there are consequences to every action. Bina originally hails from Grand Forks, and made many goals in front of many happy parents and city officials during his highschool days. It'll be interesting to see how the Good Old Boys of Grand Forks handle all of this. If UND decides to take action and suspend them, they hockey players will just go pro right away (the St. Louis Blues have been scouting Oshie for some time; Bina is a first round pick too). If they don't?... I'm guessing administration will use this symbolic event as a catalyst for the "greater drinking problem in Grand Forks and throughout the nation," and we can now open a discussion on underage drinking thanks to these brave jocks.
It'll be hilarious any way you slice it.

The odds are they act "to preserve the integrity of UND hockey"? That is "the FINANCIAL integrity".....Or, maybe they'll just splice up a bit of that hemp rope-a-dope.
Yeah, the verdict was issued this morning: the guilty players will have to scrimmage a bit more on the ice as a penalty. They would likely suffer more if the judgment came down from actual NHL officials.
Reminds me of a bumper sticker in Chatham, MA: Chatham. A quaint drinking village with a fishing problem.
