runner-up finish in 2003-04, a 

third-place national finish in 

2005-06 and a national quarterfinal 

finish in 2004-05. He

season championships (2002, 

2005, 2006) and four NCHA 

playoff titles (2002, 2004, 2005, 2006) and 

was twice named NCHA Coach of the 

Year (2002, 2005). 

During his time at UW-Stevens Point, 

Idalski tutored three All-Americans, six 

Academic All-Americans and 17 All- 

NCHA selections. 

In 2005-06, his final year at UW-Stevens 

Point, the Pointers went 21-5-4 overall and 

11-1-3 during league play and advanced to 

the Division III Frozen Four for the second 

time in three years, where they finished 

third. 

During 2004-05, the Pointers posted a 22- 

3-1 record and became the first team to 

finish the NCHA regular season undefeated 

as Idalski was named the league’s 

coach of the year for the second time in 

his career. 

In 2003-04, just his third year at the helm, 

the Pointers finished 19-7-2 and played 

one of the nation’s strongest schedules, 

taking on six of the top eight teams in the 

country. Currently, UW-Stevens Point is 

still the only West Region team to reach 

the Division III NCAA National Title 

game, falling 2-1 to host Middlebury (Vt.). 

Being named the NCHA Coach of the 

Year after his first year as head coach with 

the Pointers, Idalski also earned NCHA

Of the many things that Brian 

Idalski, the new head coach of 

the University of North Dakota 

women’s hockey team, brings, it’s 

change. 

“Things are going to be different,” Idalski 

said. 

With that change, Idalski and his new 

staff have created a buzz at Ralph 

Engelstad Arena. There are new philosophies, 

a new level of hope and excitement, 

something that was missing from last season. 

“I’m excited about the opportunities,” 

Idalski said. “We’re trying to get a hold of 

things and get this program headed in the 

right direction.” 

Heading into the 2007-08 season, Idalski 

is excited with UND’s preparation. The 

Fighting Sioux have worked hard on conditioning 

and lifting weights all summer, 

Idalski said. 

“Conditioning-wise, they did a great job,” 

Idalski said. “[Strength] coach Quinn 

[Peterson] did a great job and the team 

responded. They are in great shape.” 

That conditioning level provides the foundation 

for success, Idalski said. 

“The first step was conditioning and to get 

into great shape,” Idalski said. “We’ve 

done that. Now it’s about getting on the 

ice, practicing well and buying into the 

system.” 

Among the new changes to the program is 

a new staff, which has created a positive 

buzz in women’s hockey circles around 

the nation. 

Maria Lewis and Grand Kimball were 

hired as assistant coaches last summer. 

Kimball, who worked at Wayne State 

(Mich.) as associate coach and recruiting 

coordinator since 2003, is a proven winner. 

Kimball helped Wayne State to 57 

wins and a CHA conference championship 

game appearance in 2007. 

Assistant Coach Grant Kimball is part of an entirely 

new coaching staff. 

Lewis has spent the six seasons coaching 

at Mercyhurst College, serving the 2005- 

06 season as associate coach. She was a 

member of the 2005 American Hockey 

Coaches Association National Staff of the 

2007-08 SEASON OUTLOOK 

Year and was a two-time (2005, 2003 

College Hockey America (CHA) 

Assistant Coach of the Year. One thing 

Lewis is known for is her recruiting, 

including the signing of the first Olympian 

in Mercyhurst history. 

~FORWARDS~ 

The Fighting Sioux will need to improve 

their offensive output in order to succeed, 

Idalski said, but he wouldn’t be surprised 

to see a lot of low-scoring games. 

“We are going to be a defensive team early 

on,” Idalski said. “We need to be defensive, 

pick our spots and give ourself the 

opportunity to make plays.” 

UND returns several of its top scorers 

from last season, including juniors Randi 

Motski (Fairbanks, Alaska), Casie 

Hanson (St. Peter, Minn.) and Melissa 

Jaques (Cooks Creek, Manitoba). Each 

will be looked upon to increased leadership 

and goal-scoring roles. 

Jaques saw her production dip from eight 

goals and 16 points as a freshman two 

years ago to just three goals and six points 

last year. A return to form by Jaques 

would go a long ways toward an improvement 

by the Sioux offense. 

Junior forward Melissa Jaques will be relied on as 

an offensive leader this season for the Sioux.

2007-08 SEASON OUTLOOK 

Motsko also has the potential to step up 

the offensive side of her game, while 

Hanson appears to have found a home at 

forward after bouncing back and forth 

from the blueline. 

Sophomore Jenny Porter (Faribault, 

Minn.), who displayed leadership and 

two-way ability as a freshman, will also be 

expected to continue her development 

after a good rookie campaign. 

Sophomore forward Jenny Porter emerged as a reliable 

two-way forward last season. 

Andrea Cook (Reston, Manitoba), Ashley 

Paulson (Onalaska, Wis.), Jodi Holland 

(Rochester, Minn.) and Alex Williams 

(Eagan, Minn.) will also be expected to 

step up. 

“We’re going to have some different looks 

and give everyone the opportunity,” 

Idalski said. 

UND has four new freshmen forwards – 

Emily Sell (Williston, N.D.), Nikki 

Hebert (Lakeville, Minn.), Kelly Lewis 

(Forest Lake, Minn.), Alexa Nelson 

(Forest Lake, Minn.) and Stephanie Roy 

(Grand Digue, New Brunswick) – that will 

fit into the mix, as well. 

~DEFENSE~ 

Idalski said UND’s defense will be a 

strong point for the team. 

“Our defense will be a strength,” Idalski 

said. “Now we are going to add depth, but 

we still need to improve.” 

The Sioux will be led by junior Kelsey 

Fletcher (Vadnais Heights, Minn.), who 

emerged as the anchor of UND’s blueline 

after transferring from Clarkson 

University. The most experienced returning 

Sioux defenseman, Fletcher has 70 

collegiate games under her belt. 

Sophomores Ashley Lynch (Gilbert 

Plains, Manitoba), Samantha Turner 

(Hudson, Wis.), Alyssa Johnson (Fergus 

Falls, Minn.) and Cassandra Flanagan 

(Great Falls, Manitoba) are also expected 

to continue their development. Lynch was 

the most active, offensively, scoring three 

goals and adding three assists. Turner also 

had six points (2g, 4a), Johnson had three 

(1g, 2a) and Flanagan two (1g, 1a). 

Sophomore Samantha Turner tied for the team lead 

among defensemen with six points last year. 

Freshman Lewis is also expected to step in 

and compete for playing time. 

~GOALIES~ 

Sophomore goaltender Brittany Kirkham 

(Nepean, Ontario) returns after a solid season 

in net. Last season Kirkham was 

UND’s mainstay, starting in a schoolrecord 

35 games with an .887 save percentage. 

Freshmen Michelle Sauer (Agoura, 

Calif.) and Grace Edgar (Plano, Tex.) 

will back up Kirkham and push for playing 

time. 

~SCHEDULE~ 

One thing that hasn’t changed is UND’s 

tough scheduling. Along with the alwaystough 

WCHA schedule, the coaching staff 

has put together another solid non-conference 

schedule. 

The Fighting Sioux travel to the Nike 

Bauer Women’s Classic in Minneapolis, 

Minn., to face Boston University and 

Northeastern. The Sioux will also head to 

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and host 

Bemidji State. 

Idalski is familiar with the WCHA, spending 

last season as an assistant coach for St. 

Cloud State. 

“The WCHA is hands down the best conference,” 

Idalski said. “To play with the 

top teams, you need to play your best 

every game.” 

Idalski said the Sioux want to get off to a 

good start during a six-game homestand 

from Oct. 19 to Nov. 4. 

“It’s important to get a good start and build 

confidence,” Idalski said. “Then we have 

to roll that into the second half.” 

Goaltender Brittany Kirkham appeared in a schoolrecord 

35 games as a freshman last season.

2006-07 (SOPHOMORE): Appeared in 35 games in her first season with

2006-07 SEASON RECAP 

The 2006-07 season ultimately proved 

to be one of change for the Fighting Sioux, 

who went 3-31-2 overall and 0-27-1 during 

WCHA play. It will be remembered as 

the beginning of a new era of women’s 

hockey at the University of North Dakota. 

COACHING CHANGE 

On Dec. 10, 2006, it was announced that 

the contract of head coach Shantel Rivard 

– the only head coach in UND women’s 

hockey history – would not be renewed. 

Rivard was the face of Fighting Sioux 

women’s hockey from its inception in 

2001-02 and oversaw the team’s transition 

from club team to Division I independent 

to WCHA member. 

In her four-plus seasons, Rivard 

amassed a record of 45-91-11 (.344) and 

helped put the sport on the map in North 

Dakota. 

Rivard, whose last game behind the 

bench was a home loss to Minnesota, was 

replaced on an interim basis for the 

remainder of the season by UND associate 

head coach Dennis Miller. 

LAST OF THE ORIGINALS 

UND also said goodbye to a pair of 

graduating seniors in 2006-07, including 

forward Aynsley Allen, who was a member 

of the inaugural women’s hockey team 

at UND in 2002-03. 

A native of St. Andrews, Manitoba, 

Allen was a member of UND’s first two 

Division I teams from 2002-04 before taking 

the year off in 2004-05. She returned 

in 2004 to play her final two seasons. 

Allen (below) played in 112 career games 

for the Sioux, sixth-most in program history. 

Former forward Aynsley Allen 

Also graduating was forward Alexia 

Gagnon Laplante (right), who scored 37 

career points to rank seventh on UND’s 

all-time scoring list. The Sainte-Therese, 

Quebec, native also excelled for UND’s 

golf team, earning a pair of All-North 

Central Conference first team honors and 

two berths in the NCAA Division II 

Championships. 

FAB FROSH 

A highlight for the 

Fighting Sioux in 2006-07 

was the emergence of several 

key freshmen. 

Defenseman Ashley 

Lynch became just the second 

player and first 

defenseman in program 

history to earn a conference 

postseason award 

when she was named to 

the 2006-07 All-WCHA 

Rookie Team. Lynch tied a 

record for Sioux defensemen 

with three goals and 

tied for fourth on the team 

in scoring with six points. 

Another first-year revelation was netminder 

Brittany Kirkham, who appeared 

in a school-record 35 games and established 

herself as a bona fide WCHA goalie 

when she was named the league’s rookie 

of the week in early December. In all, 

Kirkham logged 13 games in which she 

made 30 or more saves. 

No fewer than eight other freshmen 

appeared in at least 25 games for UND, 

including Jenny Porter, Samantha 

Turner, Jade Schirado, Ashley Paulson, 

Jodi Holland, Andrea Cook, Cassandra 

Flanagan and Alex Williams. 

Former forward Alexia Gagnon Laplante

HEAD OF THE CLASS 

The Sioux women’s hockey team 

proudly contributed to UND’s long history 

of academic success, placing seven student-athletes 

on the WCHA All-Academic 

Team, including: senior forward Aynsley 

Allen, junior defenseman Christey Allen, 

sophomore defenseman Christy Carlson, 

senior forward Alexia Gagnon Laplante, 

sophomore forward Casie Hanson, sophomore 

defenseman Alyssa Johnson and 

sophomore forward Randi Motsko. 

Additionally, Aynsley Allen, Christey 

Allen, Carlson, Hanson and Johnson 

(below) were each named WCHA 

Scholar-Athletes. 

Sophomore defenseman Alyssa Johnson 

To be named a WCHA Scholar-Athlete, 

student-athletes must have completed at 

least one year of residency at their present 

institution prior to the current academic 

year and must also have a grade point 

average of at least 3.50 on a 4.0 scale for 

the previous two semesters or three quarters, 

or may qualify if her overall GPA is 

at least 3.50 for all terms at her present 

institution. 

TWO-SPORT STARS 

A pair of Fighting Sioux managed to 

make their marks on not just one, but two 

varsity teams at the University of North 

Dakota. 

Senior forward Alexia Gagnon Laplante 

earned her second career All-North 

Central Conference first team selection 

and helped lead UND’s women’s golf 

team to a sixth-place finish at the Division 

II Women’s Golf Championships, the best 

showing in program history. 

Meanwhile, sophomore forward Casie 

Hanson established herself as one of the 

finest Division II softball players in the 

entire country. 

Hanson became the first UND softball 

player ever to garner All-America honors 

after leading the NCC in batting average 

(.455), on-base percentage (.490), hits (86) 

and runs scored (61), the latter two setting 

UND single-season records. Her career 

batting average of .418 is also a school 

record. 

Hanson (below) was also named an 

Academic All-American by ESPN the 

Magazine.

THIS IS THE WCHA 

WCHA Commissioner 

Bruce McLeod 

With a noteworthy past that spans six 

decades and marks its 56th season 

overall in 2007-08, three characteristics 

that continue to define the 

Western Collegiate Hockey 

Association are history, tradition and 

success. 

From the founding days as the 

Midwest Collegiate Hockey League 

(MCHL) from 1951-53, to the 

Western Intercollegiate Hockey 

League (WIHL) from 1953-58, and 

ultimately on to the Western 

Collegiate Hockey Association in 

1959, this prestigious athletic conference has developed and 

maintained a tradition of excellence that truly is second to none. 

In fact, no collegiate conference – in any sport – can top the 

impressive list of national scale accomplishments of the WCHA 

and its member teams. 

Since 1951, teams representing the men’s WCHA have earned a 

record 36 NCAA (national) championships, finished as the 

national runner-up another 27 times, and qualified for a berth in 

collegiate hockey’s national championship round – the NCAA 

Men’s Frozen Four – in 52 of 55 seasons overall. And since it’s 

founding in 1999-2000, teams representing the women’s WCHA 

have now captured eight consecutive national championships in 

2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007! 

In addition to its successes in national championship tournament 

play over the years, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association 

owns an enviable reputation for producing outstanding coaches 

and student-athletes, with hundreds upon hundreds of its alumni 

moving on to successful professional and Olympic playing 

careers. On top of the more than 200 men’s and women’s league 

alumni who have Olympic experience playing for the likes of the 

U.S., Canada, Italy, Norway, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Finland, 

and France, conference-member teams and players have also 

received additional international exposure on a regular basis since 

1951. 

The WCHA has hosted touring teams from the USSR, Canada, 

Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Germany, Italy, Finland, 

Norway, Switzerland, England and France. The league has also 

sent men’s WCHA All-Star Teams to Europe in both 1998 

(Switzerland) and 2000 (Norway) and hopes to make another 

overseas trip in the future, while the women’s WCHA has also 

regularly put together all-star teams, with the 2005-06 season 

bringing WCHA All-Star Team games against the U.S. National 

Team at both Xcel Energy Center and the Duluth Entertainment 

& Convention Center. In 2006-07, the women’s WCHA had nine 

current and seven former players compete at the 2007 IIHF 

Women’s World Championship in Manitoba, with the likes of 

former and current WCHA stars Carla MacLeod, Caroline 

Ouellette, and Tessa Bonhomme winning Gold as members of 

Team Canada. 

Just a few of the more than 350 past and present National Hockey 

Leaguer’s who have roots in the WCHA include the likes of legendary 

goaltenders Tony Esposito, Eddio Mio and Glenn “Chico” 

Resch, defensemen Keith Magnuson, Lou Nanne and Curt Giles, 

and forwards Brett Hull, Lou Angotti, Bill Masterton, Bill “Red” 

Hay, Red Berenson, Glenn Anderson and Mark Johnson. The 

current crop of WCHA stars playing in the NHL include the likes 

of Chris Chelios, Dany Heatley, Mark Parrish, Jordan Leopold, 

Curtis Joseph, Sean Hill, Antti Laaksonen, Jason Blake, Tyler 

Arnason, Andy Sutton, Bret Hedican and Matt Carle. 

WCHA home attendance for men’s games reached another new 

milestone in 2006-07, this time surpassing the 1.6 million mark 

for the first time time with a record total of 1,606,686 and a per 

game average attendance of 7,370. The WCHA has now surpassed 

the one million mark in home attendance 14 straight seasons 

and 1.5 million for five straight seasons. 

The WCHA also led the way again in women’s national attendance 

in 2006-07. Wisconsin ranked first in average home attendance 

with at 1,362 for 20 homes dates. They also led the nation 

with a total home attendance figure of 28,607. Minnesota and 

Minnesota Duluth ranked second and third, respectfully, in both 

categories. WCHA home arenas were also the site of two of the 

top single-game attendance highs. Leading the way was the 

NCAA regional game at UW’s Kohl Center against Harvard with 

5,125 on March 10. Also ranked was a January sellout at Ridder 

Arena when Minnesota drew 3,251 for a game against Wisconsin. 

The Border Battle attracted 5,524 for the two-game series. 

The conference’s two annual playoff championships, known as 

the Red Baron WCHA Final Five (men’s) and the WCHA 

Championship (women’s), continue to be among the most successful 

collegiate tournaments of their kind. Held at Xcel Energy 

Center in St. Paul, the WCHA Final Five has drawn in excess of 

1,100,000 fans since it’s inception in 1987 - including a record 

88,900 in 2007. The women’s 2008 WCHA Championship, set 

for next March 8-9 at the Duluth Entertainment & Convention 

Center, also continues to grow both in exposure and attendance. 

Under the leadership and guidance of Commissioner Bruce M. 

McLeod and Associate Commissioner Sara R. Martin, the 

Western Collegiate Hockey Association proudly celebrates it’s 

56th season of men’s competition and ninth in women’s competition 

in 2007-08 with prospects for another tremendously competitive 

campaign being extremely bright.

Ralph 

Engelstad Arena

One of Ralph Engelstad Arena’s 48 luxury suites 

Since opening its doors on Oct. 5, 2001, the new Ralph 

Engelstad Arena has become widely-regarded as arguably the 

finest hockey facility in the world. The premiere home to college 

hockey, the new Engelstad Arena has just about everything. 

As soon as fans enter the doors, they know they are in the 

Fighting Sioux hockey arena. 

Fans are greeted in the lobby by a pro shop featuring souvenirs 

of all kinds. Natural light from the two-story high ceiling 

atrium illuminates the lobby area. 

The lobby also boasts a tribute to former Sioux greats. The 

NCAA Championship trophies are on display, along with an historical 

photo selection and four video screens playing highlights 

from great Sioux seasons of hockey. 

Throughout the arena are photos of the Sioux All-Americans. 

Interspersed are great historical photos which show the progression 

of Sioux hockey from 1929 when two games were played to 

Sept. 1946, when student John C. “Jamie” Jamieson was hired to 

coach the hockey team and led his 19-player squad to a 7-6-0 

record. The photos lead 

the fans up to the present 

day coaches and players. 

When fans enter the 

arena, whether in the 

bowl or above the suite 

level, they find distinctive 

touches of luxury. 

There are no bleachers in 

this arena. Each seat in 

the arena is Sioux-green 

leather and padded with 

cherry wood arms and a 

cup holder. Numerous 

refreshment stands also 

circle the main concourse 

and the upper lever. 

As fans look around 

the bowl, their eyes are 

attracted by the fascia 

ring, which is a television 

screen 900 feet long and 

three feet high. It runs all 

the way around the arena, 

above the suite level, and 

can show fans anything 

from hockey footage to 

advertisements. 

At center ice, high 

above center ice, is a 

Daktronics scoreboard. 

The eight-screen video 

scoreboard shows game 

action, scores from around 

the country and in-game 

information. The four top 

screens are 16’ x 12’, the 

four bottom screens are 

10’ by 12’. The $2 million 

dollar scoreboard weighs 

30,000 pounds.

rafters at the north and south ends of the arena, fans will see the 

symbols of what has created the incredible tradition of the 

Fighting Sioux hockey program. At the south end, the 11 WCHA 

Championships banners, and at the north end the seven NCAA 

Championship banners. On the north and south walls toward the 

ceiling of the arena are the banners which represent the NHL 

teams for which Sioux players have gone on to play with. 

Getting around in the arena couldn’t be easier. Located inside 

of each of the four towers adjacent to the ice rink are staircases. 

On the north and south ends of the arena, escalators will move 

fans from one level to another. In addition, there are four passenger 

elevators, one in each corner, each with a 5,000 pound capacity. 

The Tradition Room highlights the growth of Fighting Sioux hockey and greets fans as they enter the arena.

RALPH ENGELSTAD ARENA 

The state-of-the-art weight room contains 20,000 pounds of weights and an 1,800 square foot, spring-mounted plyo floor. 

The arena was built for fan enjoyment and spectacular views 

of the game. The boards surrounding the rink are a seamless, 

tapered glass that can flex up to three inches upon impact. These 

are the same boards that are found in the Xcel Energy Center, 

home of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild. Each seat in the rink has 

excellent site lines, with views of the scoreboard and the entire 

sheet of ice. 

The main rink has a 200’ x 85’ surface with seating for 

approximately 11,500 fans. The practice rink is an olympic-sized 

rink measuring 200’ x 100’. The adjacent practice rink has seating 

for 400-500 spectators. 

Opposing teams will enter the arena at the staging area. This 

area, located at ice level, between the practice rink and the main 

ice surface, will allow up to four buses to enter and park at one 

time. 

The Sioux training room, located directly across from the 

locker room, includes an exam room where X-rays can be taken. 

An underwater treadmill is located inside the training room. It can 

be used for therapy after 

injury and includes underwater 

cameras for monitoring 

a patient’s 

progress. There is also a 

whirlpool for the players 

which can accommodate 

just about the entire team. 

The weight room, 

one of the most talked 

about rooms in the arena, 

will be the envy of just 

about any team, in any 

sport, in the nation. The 

10,000 square foot worldclass 

facility has 10 platforms 

with 10 power stations, 

24 weight 

machines, 30 circuit machines, 

and 30 aerobic pieces (bikes, 

treadmills, and stair climbers). 

The room has 20,000 pounds of 

weights in it. Included in the room 

is an 1,800 square foot plyo floor, 

spring mounted for plyometric 

workouts. Eight television monitors 

are placed throughout the 

room to take athletes step-by-step 

through their workout programs. 

On June 26, 2003, with a 

unanimous vote by the North 

Dakota State Board of Higher 

Education, Ralph Engelstad Arena 

(REA) and the University of North 

Dakota started to move forward 

with construction plans to add the 

Betty Engelstad Sioux Center to 

the current REA athletic complex. 

The new facility, which will be 50,000 square feet and located 

to the west of the REA Olympic practice rink, opened in 

August 2004. It is the new home of the Fighting Sioux volleyball 

and men’s and women’s basketball teams. 

The Betty Engelstad Sioux Center will serve as both the practice 

facility and home court for the volleyball team, with seating 

for 4,000. The arena floor will allow for up to four regulation 

practice courts. Other spaces exclusive to volleyball will be a 

players/parents lounge, study classroom, locker room, team room, 

training room, equipment room and the coaches’ offices. 

For the basketball teams, the facility will serve as a practice 

facility and site for the majority of the teams’ non-conference 

games. Most of the conference basketball games will be played in 

the main facility at REA. Similar to volleyball, the structure will 

allow for four regulation basketball courts. The basketball teams 

have their own players/parents lounge, study classroom, locker 

room, team room, training room, equipment room and the coaches’ 

offices. 

The Fighting Sioux locker room contains 30 stalls, and also features a separate locker area for street clothes.

veteran gaming executive, entrepreneur 

and humanitarian Ralph Engelstad is the 

man behind the finest college hockey facility 

in the country, the arena which bears his 

name. 

Even though he was an intensely private, 

shy and reticent individual, Ralph was 

one of the largest philanthropists in America, 

and he shunned any recognition for his good 

deeds. 

After 25 years in the “old” Ralph 

Engelstad Arena, Ralph built and donated a 

$104 million hockey arena to the University 

of North Dakota (now recognized industrywide 

as the top hockey arena in the area) in 

2001-02. Recently he built and donated a 

$10 million hockey arena to his hometown, 

Thief River Falls, Minnesota. 

In 1998, he donated the General George 

Patton papers, valued at $1.45 million to the 

University of North Dakota Charles Fritz 

Library. In 2002, he purchased 2,000 wheelchairs 

for North Dakotans through the 

Wheelchair Foundation. He also donated the 

remaining funds needed to complete statuary 

for the celebration of the Lewis & Clark 

bicentennial. 

Ralph and wife Betty have also contributed 

generously to charities that benefit 

children, veterans, seniors and animal causes. 

The Engelstad family is recognized as 

one of the top 10 gift givers of all time to 

higher education in America. 

In 1998, when announcing the gift of 

the hockey arena to the University of North 

Dakota, where he played hockey during college, 

he said, “Life is full of its ups and 

downs in business and personally. I have 

experienced both, but I have been very fortunate 

to land on the upper side more times 

than on the bottom, and it is my desire to 

share a portion of my good fortune with the 

UND Hockey Team.” 

Ralph Engelstad was one of five children 

born to Christian and Madeline 

Engelstad in Thief River Falls, Minnesota 

and the grandson of a Norwegian immigrant 

who came to that area to farm. Early in his 

life, Ralph demonstrated that he had the 

drive and attitude to achieve great things. 

After working his way through UND 

with odd jobs and some assistance from a 

hockey scholarship, Ralph graduated in 1954 

with a degree in Business. He soon married 

his sweetheart, Betty Stocker, and then started 

his own construction company. 

Through his tremendous work ethic, 

determination and initiative, Ralph began 

achieving the “American dream.” He promised 

himself that he would become a millionaire 

by age 30; instead, that dream came true 

one year earlier while he was still a contractor 

in Grand Forks. 

In 1959, Ralph moved to Las Vegas 

where his construction company secured 

government contracts to build FHA homes. 

Further demonstrating his entrepreneurial 

successes, he bought then barren land surrounding 

the North Las Vegas Air Terminal, 

which he later sold to Howard Hughes. 

In 1971, using the profits from his land 

sale to Howard Hughes, Ralph purchased the 

nine-acre Flamingo-Capri Motel on the Las 

Vegas Strip. Acting as his own contractor, he 

built the Imperial Palace, which opened in 

1979 with 650 rooms. 

Today, the Imperial Palace ranks as the 

2nd largest sole proprietorship hotel in the 

world and boasts 2,700 rooms and 2,600 

employees. In 1997, Ralph expanded his 

casino holdings by building his second 

Imperial Palace in Biloxi, Mississippi. 

The term “innovator” was often applied 

to Ralph throughout his varied career. For 

instance, his love of automobiles and racing 

led him to develop the famed Las Vegas 

Motor Speedway, which he later sold. He is 

known internationally for his tremendous 

car collection, showcased in first-class muse- 

RALPH ENGELSTAD 

ums in both the Las Vegas and Biloxi hotels. 

And when his fleet of antique automobiles 

needed restoring, he employed 50 Nevada 

prisoners who accomplished the job while 

honing their skills for future classic car 

work. 

Ralph introduced several “firsts” in the 

hotel/casino industry. In 1993, he opened the 

first medical center in a casino for employees, 

the Nevada Resorts Medical Center, 

now the UMC Medical Center. He introduced 

the first drive-through Race & Sports 

Book in 1989, and was the first to offer airline 

baggage check-in service at the hotel in 

2000 (unfortunately, this popular Las Vegas 

service was discontinued after 9/11/01). 

Perhaps one of Ralph’s greatest contributions 

as a humanitarian was his devotion 

to the handicapped. He has received many 

state and national awards for hiring the disabled, 

and approximately 13 percent of his 

Imperial Palace employees have some form 

of disability. 

In recognition of his unending contributions 

to the handicapped, Ralph was named 

“Employer of the Year” by the Nevada 

Governor’s Committee on Employment of 

People with Disabilities in 1987 and 1989. In 

1991, he received the prestigious “National 

Employer of the Year” award from the 

President’s Committee on Employment of 

People with Disabilities. 

Among other awards, he was also recognized 

as “Employer of the Year” by the 

Southwest Business, Industry and 

Rehabilitation Association and received the 

“Humanitarian of the Year Award” from the 

International Gaming & Business 

Exposition. 

His latest recognition came in 2002 

when he was inducted into the North Dakota 

Entrepreneur Hall of Fame and honored for 

his entrepreneurial success in the construction, 

casino, entertainment and antique auto 

industries. 

Engelstad passed away on Nov. 26, 

2002, after a valiant battle with cancer. He 

was 72. 

Throughout his memorable career, 

Ralph had two mottos for living that reflected 

his ambition and drive: “The harder I 

work, the luckier I get,” and “No dream 

comes true until you wake up and go to 

work.”
