MICHIGAN TECH 2017 OFF-SEASON - We're Adding to the Trophy Case & Keeping Pearson

operationalizing [Ooooo big school word]

I would do it if the winner gets to keep the other team's jerseys. Too bad I've never seen the inside of a weight room in my life...

That victory would be almost as sweet as the last game we played SCSU in their barn. Tech beat them and then I won the SCSU jersey raffle. I went down the ice wearing my Tech jersey and security tried to keep me off the ice.
"Sorry, only jersey raffle winners can go on the ice with the players."
"Yeah, I know, that's why I'm going out there..."

We took the win, and their jerseys for good measure.

You would win the other team's jersey raffle. Of course you would.

Kero had a goal + assist in the Hawks game vs. Pittsturd yesterday. Already earning his deal.

Here's a bit on him seizing his chance.

If you live far enough away that you're thinking about flying into DLH for the Icebreaker - you might want to re-think that if you live within a 12-hour drive and can afford the extra day(s) of PTO. I'm currently seeing $450+ out of DTW for "main cabin" (not "basic"/restricted economy), and that's with the required connection in MSP. Yuck. Those of you who aren't Delta hub/loyalty captives may have better luck on price (but I doubt it - seems United is the only other option).

If you are not opposed to a little driving, just fly to MSP (Minneapolis) and you might save a couple hundred bucks on your flight. You are also likely to save on your rental car as well. Base rates for cars out of MSP under $10 per day are not uncommon as you get closer to the days you need the car (Maybe $20-$25 per day with all the taxes and fees, but still very reasonable). Duluth is an easy two hour drive up the interstate and you can enjoy some Fall colors along the way.

As an example for airfare:
$145 Denver to MSP
$426 Denver to Duluth (via MSP)
That leaves you a lot of extra "beverage money"...

Re: MICHIGAN TECH 2017 OFF-SEASON - We're Adding to the Trophy Case & Keeping Pearson

lastly, doesn't Duluth owe us a home visit this year?

Pretty sure that is pushed to next season, since we got in the Icebreaker this year, and have a chance to play Duluth there.

Re: MICHIGAN TECH 2017 OFF-SEASON - We're Adding to the Trophy Case & Keeping Pearson

So if I was guessing i'd say 2018/19 would be Duluth home, at Wisconsin, GLi, and maybe Notre Dame at home?

No, we get Wisconsin at home in 18-19, and I think Notre Dame was a 1-off.

We have UMD and UW scheduled to be in Houghton at some point, I believe both will be 2018-19. I'm not sure if Notre Dame was a one-off but I know MTU is trying to get them to come to Houghton and I have them penciled in as a home series next.

Does anyone know if Keegan Ford is still possible for next season? I know Mel commented briefly on his situation on the MPS last year and it sounded like his return was possible. I watched Keegan play several times and he was a really strong defenseman.

Seems very unlikely since he went back to Junior hockey and we have a ton of players committed.

I usually try to keep politics out of my posts and mostly I am successful but not always. Last night I was pretty offended by a post from a UND supporter about the women's team situation. Basically he said that in his opinion the only reason for woman's sports was to be politically correct, that no one went to the games anyway, ( which is true ) and that all this title 9 stuff is garbage and a waste of time and money.
I guess he and most UND fans think women have no right to try to better themselves.I have three daughters who I always taught they could do whatever the men do. So, That thought process,... well pretty sad.And the way they went about notifying the team was sad as well.

Being in a similar situation I couldn't agree with you more. That poster missed the point it's not political correctness in this case, Title IX is about equal opportunity. Face it MOST sports programs are NOT self supporting and this includes MANY D1 football programs, let alone the rest, ie bouncy ball, baseball, track etc

Redmond signed with Anaheim
 
Kinda saw this coming, but bye-bye Angus :url]http://www.michigantechhuskies.com/sports/mice/2016-17/releases/20170331q070jf[/url]

Well congrats beef!!

On another note, a great example why he's tMel. In a previous tMel Pearson show he stated that he has another goalie coming in maybe better than Beef.
