One Reason To Like (But Not Necessarily Watch) What Is Probably A Stoopid Date Movie

From the Grand Forks Herald:

Former UND forward Kevin Spiewak lives and works in Fargo, but his name has reached Hollywood and the big screen.

A short clip of UND’s 2000 quarterfinal game against Niagara can be seen in the new movie “He’s Just Not That Into You,” a romantic comedy that debuted as the No. 1 movie in the United States.

In one of the scenes, Alex (played by Justin Long) is watching the game and exclaims to roommate Conor (played by Kevin Connelly): “Come on Spiewak, this isn’t Ice Capades out there!”

Spiewak scored UND’s final goal of a 4-1 win in that game. The Sioux went on to win their seventh national championship, beating Boston College in the final.

Spiewak played for UND from 1999 through 2003, scoring 38 goals and adding 52 assists for 90 points. He has not seen the movie yet.
