Post-Game

It’s 20 minutes since the game ended, and the Badgers aren’t ready to leave the ice. The seniors will stay on as long as they can, to bask in the cheers and delay taking that jersey off for the last time. Most of the fans have stayed as well, even after the awards ceremony, which … Read more

LiveBlogging the Finals

I’ll be liveblogging the title game, so check back for frequent updates. Pregame: -12:13: The house is almost packed with about 12 minutes till game time. The video scoreboard is showing highlights from the semifinals, and the pro-Wisconsin crowd is cheering every Badger and booing every Eagle whenever they appear on the big board. -5:52: … Read more

Calm Before the Storm

We’re about two hours away from dropping the puck on the final game of the 2005-2006 season. We at USCHO are at 41 stories and counting so far this week, with much more to come.

Friday At The Frozen Part II

I’m blogging from the press area at Bradley arena, watching the skills challenge, a new idea that’s growing on me. Similar to the NHL challenge done at all-star time, the Skills Challenge pits seniors (men and women) from the East and West regions against each other in events like skating, stick handling, etc. Prior to … Read more

Friday At The Frozen

Friday is one of my favorite days at the Frozen Four. Practices, Hobey and Humanitarian, and often some time to sightsee. This year, things are running a bit differently with the skills competition added to the mix. That messed up USCHO’s plans a bit, as for the past few years we’ve been holding a Town … Read more

Why Not Collins?

Seriously. The consensus is centered around the other two thirds of the “Hobey Hat-Trick”. Most pundits are picking Denver’s Matt Carle, and Wisconsin’s Brian Elliott stock has certainly risen even more in the past few weeks. Most of the talk has centered around these two players, both of whom deserve the award. But Collins has … Read more

Hi Tech Press

Things have come a long way since I covered my first Frozen Four in 1996. Heck, it wasn’t even called the Frozen Four back then. In the “olden” days many reporters didn’t have laptops. Most relied on notepads and tape recorders. But things have gone high tech lately with solid state recorders and the newest … Read more

BU-UND Aftermath

Wow. What a great game. It reminded me of an old-fashioned Division III barnburner. Lots of goals. Loads of power plays. Three short-handed goals. 72 total shots on goal. The goals came fast and furious, and BC needed every one of them for the win. “The game featured a great rush from us early,” said … Read more
