    Make sure to have the cold gear with!

    Friday: High of -3 F, low of -18 F
    Saturday: High of -4 F, low of -15 F.

    No snow in the forecast, and hopefully the wind isn't blowing.

    Enjoy the festivities! Wish I could make it, but the kiddo has hockey stuff going on here that day as well.

      Not sure of the interest given the BG angle, but here’s a link to Ryan Vallon’s interview with Gary Kruzich. In addition to reliving hockey in the 80’s he talks about Tech and living in Houghton.

        Good Joe Shawhan show today. Seems like some frustration with message getting through to players, holding players accountable etc.

        And Friday seems interesting. -18, will it even be played outside at that temp? I have to agree with Joe, bigger home advantage than normal with Bemidji getting to use the outdoor ice this week and prepare for how to keep their players warm.

          Joe should take the boys to the Grove for practice.

            They've played HDM in colder temps than that, so I'd expect it to happen as planned.

              Interesting interview with former BGSU goalie and 1984 National Champion.Enjoyed listening to it and how he talks about how the game has changed over the years. Funny parts were about chopping guys while in his crease, didn't care about the high scoring affairs....as long as you won, about not watch film about what you did wrong, (you knew what you did wrong, didn't have to watch it twice). Great interview, worth the 13:00 to listen to it.

                Should have started practicing outside 5 weeks in advance of an outdoor game like Patricia.

                  Usually the ice surface in an outside game is lousy, but I wonder how the cold will affect the rink. Will the zamboni even operate at the temps we are looking at? Could it be the water freezes before it gets spread?

                    When it gets too cold it’s possible for the ice to start cracking. I wouldn’t be shocked if they just scrape in between periods.

                      If -18 temp + wind chills, for the safety of all move the game back inside.

                        When I was a kid in New England we practiced outside. The school could only afford ice once per week, so we shoveled off the local pond and we practiced there the rest of the time. When it was super cold, like near zero, the ice made a lot more snow than if it was warmer, though you tended to go faster also. Usually my toes was what suffered most because I liked to have my skates very tight. I also wore a balaclava under my helmet.

                          We play outdoors for our youth program here in Willow, AK. Our cutoff for practice is -5 but we've skated down to -10. That's for 8u so grown men should be able to handle -20, but the quality of the game will suffer for sure.

                              The wind chill for HDM 2008 was -50, and they played outdoors. Everyone survived just fine. This one will be outside too.
