There it is. Soon the Road to Ridder is embarked upon.

Have we been introduced to Nina Rodgers yet? Did I miss that?

Nina Rodgers has not yet been introduced.

I'm interested to see the chemistry of this year's team. Last year at the start of the year they had that crazy streak going, and were two time defending national champs. They were really attached to the previous years' team. I think t was a bit of an obstacle to establishing their own identity, as great as it all was.

After losing to Clarkson last year, a lot of the attachment is gone. It's time to start it all up again brand new this year. I'm very curious to see how they respond. Hopefully they are as tight and get along as good as ever, and maybe have a little extra intensity and determination, especially with the Frozen Four at Ridder.

Love that they do this every year after the first practice. So creative!

20 girls in the pictures, 21 on the roster. Hard to tell who is who, but guessing the missing GWH'er at the retreat was Rachel Ramsey since I heard her DJ'ing on the radio driving home from the football game yesterday.

Who's going to Como today? Anyone?

It was mostly the Power Play Club Board of Directors, their significant others, and a couple others. We had a lot of good discussion, but wrapped things up a little early.

Anyone know whether our tickets for the opening weekend get us into the Husky games as well? Although I didn't look that hard, neither school appears to be selling tickets for the 4:00 PM games.

When they have hosted a showcase event like this in the past, it has been considered one session just like the Frozen Four or WCHA Final Face-Off semis. It isn't like the fan bases for all four teams won't fit in the building in the first weekend of October.

Former Minnesota Daily writer and sports beat reporter moves to the Pioneer Press. Maybe that'll get 'em more ink.

Just got notice that media day is Tuesday. We'll see what kind of press coverage the team gets that evening into Wednesday morning.

Be great to hear any thoughts regarding this morning's festivities at Ridder if anyone has the time or inclination. Couldn't get there myself unfortunately.

How the freshmen looked. If the Alums on the ice still got it.
