It appears he's doing very well, as one would expect, in the league he's playing in now. He's playing for the Sagkeeng Braves in the Manitoba Senior Hockey League. According to the stats he has 21 points in four games.

Just how senior is this senior league ? :confused: At 5.25 pts per game is it the Manitoba U85 Division? :rolleyes::D

Two more wins which I sort of expected. A real squeaker against Nazareth yesterday. SOG would lead one to believe that Adrian held the edge in play, but that wasn't the case. Naz out worked us and won most of the races to loose pucks. Shackell was our best player yesterday. He made half a dozen saves that had everyone shaking their head in disbelief. Good teams seem to find a way to win close games when they don't have their "A game". That's what happened yesterday.

Now we've got a road a road trip to Marian, and hopefully finish 2013 strong.

Adrian looks to be very tough this season.

Little slip-ups against teams that are better than their record may indicate (like Naz) can be expected. It's fortunate to get out of those games with a W. Really looking forward to the second half of the NCHA schedule...

I'm looking forward to the second half as well. I like how our schedule sets up. It requires that they keep their focus direcltly on their next opponent.

Good Hockey - keep it up!! :)

Hi. Happy New Year and all that happy horse****. Nice sweep this weekend of Buffalo State. Hopefully you arrive home safely before the storm hits. If you've been following the results of tonight's games, you're guessing (correctly) that I am not here to talk about any of that.

Like I usually try to do, I'm going to get right to the point. Plattsburgh lost tonight to Hobart. That means that in all likelihood, when the polls come out tomorrow afternoon, Adrian will be ranked #1 in the country.

Woo-hoo. Yay.

There. That's the extent of my celebration. That should be the extent of yours, too. Our start warranted this ranking, but we've only done the easy part. The hard part is yet to come, and that is staying #1. There's a whole lot of work and a whole lot of schedule to go, boys. I'm going to say the same thing I said on the D-1 board this afternoon, when my alma mater was staring at taking the #1 ranking in Division I (which they failed to do). I'd rather be #1 on May 5 than on January 5.

The #1 ranking is nice, but they don't give trophies for where you're at in early January. Every team in D-III has their sights set squarely on Adrian now. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, boys.

All truths you have written here Hammer, but it's nice to be recognized too.

Congrats to Adrian and their fans for this deserving milestone & good luck the remainder of the year

Thank you.

I just want to make sure we're focused on the task at hand.
 
Re: Adrian Hockey, 2013-2014: By George, the Lowe Haaf of the Towns are Gray

Sooooo great to finally see the "old MCHA" team get a No. 1 ranking...
Well-deserved for now. Keep up the good work. Congrats to Ron.
 
Re: Adrian Hockey, 2013-2014: By George, the Lowe Haaf of the Towns are Gray

Ron is producing as usual showing he should be at D1. NCHA is a tale of haves and have nots based on coaching and talent aquisition, this could be a sensational group if only all the schools took hockey seriously.

1-1 tie tonight. Fair indication of how tonight's game went.

Great game at Arrington. St. Scholastica carried the play in the 1st period. They scored when Adrian let a guy in alone on Shackell, and when Shackell tried to poke check it away, Nowakowski put the puck in the net. The 2nd period was Adrian's, and had Bruggeman not had a horseshoe up his ***, the Bulldogs would probably have put a 3 spot on the board. Adrian finally tied the game in the 3rd on a Balas tip-in on a 2x1. Both goaltenders played exceptional. And the referees really let the boys play tonight. Probably a tad bit too much, even for my tastes.

As for the #1 ranking, whatever. Take it if you wish. That's fine. We've got bigger fish to fry over the next five games. That's likely going to determine whether Adrian needs the Pool A, or can get in with no worse than a run to the NCHA final. I suspect that the top 5 in the West are going to be (in some order) St. Thomas, UWSP, Adrian, SNC and St. Scholastica.

Big 4-3 OT win yesterday. Basso popped the game winner 1:58 into OT.

A few soft goals yesterday, but that was a very, very good weekend of hockey from both sides. I suspect we're going to meet that team again in the NCHA tournament. It's just a matter of whether a tourney bid is on the line.
 
Re: Adrian Hockey, 2013-2014: By George, the Lowe Haaf of the Towns are Gray

Scholastica is just tough as nails. Adrian should be happy with a 3 point weekend out of two games the box suggests were even. I know I'd feel that way.

St. Scholastica played an aggressive but disciplined game of dump & chase, followed by bang & crash, and waited for their chances. It took a period, but we were able to adjust to this grinding style. Good goaltending at both ends along with decent officiating kept pace of play moving, and made for very entertaining hockey. While I thought we out chanced them in both games, we either missed the net, or their goaltender managed to get in the way. Very happy to come out with 3 points.

should be a great game tonight any video??

Maybe not, but it's a hell of a lot more accurate than most.

Anyone know why Ranalli did not play last night?
