DECC Executive Director Dan Hartman on the new The Arena League indoor football team scheduled to begin play next June at Duluth Arena: "We're extremely excited for the start of the indoor football games, which will have a strong regional economic impact during the summer. Selfishly, I'm excited that games will be played at our DECC Arena.

Hartman

We're located immediately adjacent to Harbor Drive, and so we might consider activating Harbor Drive for tailgating events. Duluthians and visitors alike really do enjoy these types of new, fun experiences, and this really gives us an excuse to do it."

Howie: Adversity isn’t the issue for Bulldogs. Execution and points are.

The question wasn’t how they’re handling adversity. The real question is whether they can turn good hockey into points — starting now. Because in the NCHC, effort keeps you competitive. Execution keeps you home in the first round of the playoffs.
