Topic starter  

Obviously not the best day to celebrate after last night, but it was 20 year ago today that GPL started with a message board to fill in when PrideOnIce.com went down during the 2003 Frozen Four.

20 years go by fast. Thanks for providing a great place to talk Gopher Hockey.

Keep your stick on the ice...

Happy birthday!  Thanks to Jup for all the headaches of hosting this site through the years. Also thanks to the mods for keeping us in line. 

I know some have their post count from the old site in their profiles. Is that info still out there? Just curious more than anything.

I’m so old. 

Never thought we’d be here stuck on 5. But glad to have the place to commiserate.

I have enjoyed my time around here over the years. I think I was on USCHO first then found this place and loved it. Though 'back in the day' USCHO game threads were pretty wild and crazy every weekend. Good times!

I was on POI at the end and I remember this pop up site swooping in to rescue the POI users while POI was down and the site runners were at the tourney. 

I got back from Buffalo and got redirected here  I really thought the GPL title drought was ending last night, but glad I can come here for therapy.

I never was on POI, heard about this site from someone on USCHO or something, and I joined up. The rest is history, as they say. Happy milestone birthday, GPL!

Me too!  GPL and my film forum are my only daily sites.  Thanks Jup, you’ve got a bunch of crazies here but we all love Gopher Hockey.

I found GPL when I moved to Minnesota shortly after the year of Kessel.  It's been a great place to share the fandom of Gopher hockey.  Can't thank Jup and the mods for hosting a great place for 20 years!  

I am the official Iowa Hawkeye football fan of GPL!
