History[]

The teams had used the nickname of Flickertails until the mid-1920's when the nickname evolved into "Sioux".  The name was changed to the "Fighting Sioux" in 1999. On May 14th 2009, it was announced that the University of North Dakota would retire the Fighting Sioux name for their teams. This decision came following years of controversy over the name and a legal battle against the NCAA which had decided in 2005 to sanction schools using tribal logos and/or nicknames. On April 8th 2010, The North Dakota State Board of Higher Education unconditionally ordered UND to retire the Fighting Sioux nickname at the end of the 2010-11 season. On March 15, 2011 Governor Jack Darymple signed a bill into state law forbidding the University of North Dakota from retiring the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. [1]

The school announced on November 18, 2015 that the school had adopted the nickname Fighting Hawks.

Women's program[]

On March 29, 2017; the University of North Dakota announced that the school is cutting the women's ice hockey program effective the end of the 2016-17 academic year.  The reason stated was a $1.3 million budget shortfall due to the school attempting to meet minimum standards of the Summit League which most of the school's athletic teams are moving to for 2017-18.  The men's and women's swimming and diving programs were also cut at the school.  The school announced UND will honor all athletic scholarships for the discontinued sports “at their present equivalencies for returning student-athletes."
