Elite Prospects Notes and Trivia
As of January 1st, 2012, the University of North Dakota will no longer use their past team nickname "the Fighting Sioux". After a lengthy court battle, North Dakota's varsity athletics teams will operate without an official nickname or corresponding logo until at least Jan. 1, 2015, as mandated by the North Dakota State Legislature. The team is now registered as the Fighting Hawks, a name that was chosen by the University on November 18, 2015.
