US Paralympic hockey team
Check out Alex Clark’s US paralympic team blog on USA Hockey. Very interesting so far and the games haven’t even started. I’d love to see (and for me, that always turns into wanting to shoot) a game sometime.
Great senior night (okay, afternoon) for the Minnesota Golden Gophers
Sadly FSCS which tape-delayed the 6-1 Gophers win over the Stinkin’ Badgers :-) cut off the broadcast at the end and didn’t include the senior ceremony. But congratulations to seniors Tony Lucia (1a) and Mike Carman (2a) who both scored two goals in their final regular season game. Congrats as well to their fellow seniors Jay Barriball, David Fischer, Ryan Flynn, Brian Schack.
Congratulations to the Boston University Terriers, Women’s Hockey East champs
Boston University defeated UConn 2-1 today to take the Hockey East championship in overtime. Tara Watchorn scored the game-winner unassisted while Mel Haber (earlier blog gallery) was in net for the Terriers.
