Congrats on getting Driscoll.
He'll take over nicely for Bitzer.
That is a nice get. That gives BSU three goalies for next year and competition makes everyone better. I am assuming he will be coming in with three years left to play. Jack Burgart is a sophomore this year, but didn't play his freshman season, so I am not sure if a redshirt got used or not. Henry Johnson is a freshman this year.

Great weekend from the Beavs. About time. I believe that is a much better reflection of how good this team is than what they have shown for most of the year. It’s too bad we left so many points on the board the previous 4 games. Hopefully we can get on a post Christmas break streak like we did 2 years ago. Still plenty of time left to host for playoffs and/or contend for the macnaughton especially with at least two games played less than everyone on front of us
So, had this idea in my head, wonder if anyone else has thought about it and if it would fly. How about a WCHA/AHA Challenge Invitational between the old CHA teams? BSU, UAH, Bobby Mo and Niagara in a set schedule (ie, not bracketed). BSU vs Bobby Mo and UAH vs Niagara on day one and then BSU vs Niagara and UAH vs Bobby Mo on day two, as an example (the host school would always play the evening game both nights to help with the gate). That way, intraconference matchups are avoided. Set up a four year rotation for hosting between the schools. Could even break out one of the old tropheys to hand out to the winner. Tie breakers would have to be set up since it isn't a bracket tournament. But hey, it could be fun!
Tommy and Derek would have zero incentive for that.
