Frozen Four Preview

While there may be less teams and a road much shorter, the NCAA Hockey Frozen Four is a pretty exciting event full of big hits, speed, and exceptional play. Watch the players in college today and see them in the NHL tomorrow.
This year’s field is no exception to a long history of good teams […]

Fighting Sioux on to St. Louis

While on vacation, and with limited Internet access, I was able to find out the score of the highly acclaimed rematch between North Dakota and Minnesota in the NCAA Hockey Tournament West Regional. Unable to view any highlights, I was left with just a score. 3 to 2 in overtime. At first, I thought Minnesota […]

Sioux on to Frozen Four

Ahhh, revenge is sweet. Unfortunately, being in the Caribbean sea and unable to watch the game, I had to rely on the Internet to see what happened. As it turns out, it was just a reversal from last weekend. Sioux win 3-2 in OT and yet another matchup against Boston College.
Maybe Clay Matvick was […]

Michigan vs. ND

No, not ND as in Notre Dame, but ND meaning North Dakota. Once again, these two teams meet each other in the first round of the NCAA Hockey Tournament hoping for a spot in the Frozen Four. In last year’s matchup, things were a bit different in North Dakota’s 5-1 win. First, the game was […]

Ready For Some Real Hockey?

Well, its that time again for all you WCHA (Western Collegiate Hockey Association) fans, which I assume there are very few in the Chicagoland area. Well, at least I know Mike K. will enjoy this post. The WCHA playoffs are all set and to no one’s surprise, the Minnesota Golden Gophers are in the one […]

Chief Illiniwek Done

After this next Wednesday’s basketball game against Michigan at Assembly Hall, there will be no more halftime dances or any appearances by Chief Illiniwek, the mascot of the University of Illinois. With such a decision and an eighty year tradition has come majour controversy between University administration and current students and national alumni. By removing […]

Cool Goal

Check out this video from the North Dakota vs. Minnesota hockey series this weekend…North Dakota got the sweep in Minneapolis…

Beyond Chicago: Fighting Sioux vs. UAA

For those of you know this writer, you had to assume I would put something on this blog about my alma mater seeing as there is no hope of a football national championship or an appearance in the final four (at least D-I)….
For those of you who do pay attention to NCAA Ice Hockey, there […]
