So I just received my
Northern Magazine in the mail yesterday, and had to tweet the excitement I saw in it:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">YES!

They're going to be celebrating the Alumni who played in the NHL inside the BEC. Something I've seen on a smaller scale in the locker room; but this is much welcomed, and in a more public setting. It's going to be great to see the photos of the (as of now) 21 alums who have played in the NHL (even Don Waddell's
lone NHL game).
What a great thing to see the University finally do!
*edit* I do have a SLIGHT irk that jumped out at me from that article. The logos on Dallas Drake's banner. Yes, he played for the Winnipeg Jets, but he didn't play for *those* Winnipeg Jets. He was on the Jets/Coyotes franchise, not the Thrashers/Jets franchise. This is the logo that should be on it:
