Well, the big guy in the red suit has already come and gone. Now the teams in the ECAC East and NESCAC conferences get to ramp it up for the second half with whatever gifts of good cheer and more consistent hockey that were left in their stockings or under the tree. The first half … Read more

T’was ten days before Christmas, and all through the rink, no games were they playing so the Zamboni did sleep. The skates were hung in the locker with care in the hopes that the new calendar soon would be here. And coaches with game films, more analysis you see, are hoping Santa leaves the gift … Read more

Alright, I think I am feeling like a lot of teams out there that just haven’t felt the magic in the first half of the season but know it’s in there just ready to break out. If anything, this final weekend headed into the semester break is going to have a lot of teams talking … Read more

I am finding the teams in the conferences have the same issue as I do so far this season. Case in point, picking 10 games on Friday night I go 3-6-1 while picking 10 games on Saturday, I go 6-3-1. And if I had just reversed a couple of the split weekend picks I had made for … Read more

Ok, so if I have learned anything through the first two weeks, it is that this season is already full of surprising game outcomes and unpredictable inter-league matchups. Case in point, this past post-Thanksgiving tournament fest that saw a number of interesting tournament champions crowned and my predictions staying below the .500 level for the season, … Read more

Well, my predictions went about as well for me last weekend as the games for the six teams still without a point after opening the season. Frankly a .400 win percentage doesn’t get it done anywhere so I feel like I have nowhere to go but up. The teams are largely playing in Thanksgiving tournaments … Read more
