Eades and Archibald were playing when I was at grad school at UND and Gino was coaching. A great time for UND hockey in those days. 30th anniversary of one of the more infamous yet amusing moments in college hockey — the North Dakota–Wisconsin Water Bottle Fight. On a Saturday night in January 1982 at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, the Badgers were leading the Fighting Sioux 3–0 in the third period. The Grand Forks Herald picks up what happened next from the perspective of Sioux co-captain Cary Eades: Eades skated past the Wisconsin bench on his way to make a line change. Wisconsin’s John Newberry squirted Eades in the face with a water bottle — for the second time during the game. “Their door was open, so I went in to have a talk with him,” Eades said. Eades proceeded to put his stick up near Newberry’s throat and ask the Badger forward what he was going to do now. Wisconsin defenseman Pat Ethier saw this exchange, ran down the bench and landed a punch on Eades that set off everything.
