Just a little place with an exclusive clientele. Anyone is welcome, reservations are easy to get, but there are only one or two people in the place most nights. :)

Three course meal tonight. I'd post the menu, but it's a surprise.

Hey, ctf, congrats on the big shew this weekend. First runner-up is pretty cool.

But Anne Golus? Give me a break.

It's just a matter of time before she gets in trouble with some previous indiscretion, gets stripped of her crown, and the first runner-up will have to step up to the podium.

It's Dusty Collins' fault. Just another reason to hate NMU.

The men and women in stripes would be more than willing to expedite this process by plant...err, discovering evidence of this.

Aldrich picked for Huskies, Olympic honors
HOUGHTON - Life is all about family for Mike Aldrich.

And whether immediate or extended, those closest to him have made a significant impact on his life.

That life has led him to the National Hockey League, where he has spent the past 12 years working as the equipment manager for the San Jose Sharks. Entering his 13th season with the Sharks this year, Aldrich will take part in his 1,000th game early in the season.

That number, along with all his other accomplishments, has earned Aldrich a special honor from his extended family. The Michigan Tech hockey program presented Aldrich with a jersey that they will hang on the wall with the others outside the Husky locker room.

It's a very significant honor for Aldrich. And one that is a source of both pride and admiration.

"I've always been very proud to be a former Michigan Tech guy," Aldrich said. "I'm extremely grateful to this program and this school.

"I would not be where I am today without Michigan Tech."

Aldrich began his association with Tech in his early 20s. He worked a variety of jobs at the school but couldn't find one that suited him.

Then, in a rather surprising development, both of Tech's equipment managers retired at the same time. So Aldrich went and asked former athletic director Ted Kearly if he should apply for the job.

After some contemplation, Aldrich eventually applied for the job and got it. He would be the equipment manager for the next five years, and over that time, he would make a number of close personal friends.

"I have maintained a great relationship with the hockey program and the whole Michigan Tech family," Aldrich said.

One young woman who crossed his path went on to big things herself at Michigan Tech. Current athletic director Suzanne Sanregret worked for Aldrich while she was a student.

She would go on to take over for Aldrich when he left for a minor-league job in Kansas City in 1993. But leaving Tech wasn't an easy thing for Aldrich to do.

He really didn't want to go. But something told him he had to.

"It was hard for me to leave, but I had to go do it," Aldrich said of taking the job in the minors. "I had to give it a try."

The move turned out to be a stroke of genius. Aldrich and his family enjoyed three blissful years in Kansas City with the International Hockey League's Blades.

The family was so happy that when a call from the parent club San Jose came, Aldrich turned down their offer to become equipment manager. But after looking at the changes the organization had made in management, Aldrich reconsidered and accepted the position.

Aldrich spent five of his first 12 years with the club under head coach Ron Wilson. That prior relationship led to another big honor this year.

Wilson called Aldrich in June and offered him the equipment manager's position for next year's U.S. Olympic team. And as an added bonus, Wilson also wanted Aldrich's son Bradley as the team's video coordinator.

The younger Aldrich, who is currently working in the same capacity for the Chicago Blackhawks, had done an internship under Wilson before becoming the video coordinator at Notre Dame. It was an offer the Aldrichs couldn't resist.

Mike and his son will leave for a three-day camp in Chicago Saturday. All of the other red tape will also be taken care of in preparation for next February's Winter Games in Vancouver.

"It's a huge honor," Mike said. "It's something I've dreamed about.

"I'm excited to be able to get back with Ron."

But Mike and Bradley won't be the only Aldrichs involved in hockey this season. Mike's wife, Susie, and his other son, Jason are also deeply involved in the sport.

Susie, who is an avid supporter of the Huskies, watched both her father and brother play for Tech. Jason, who is in the Health & Sciences grad program at MTU, works with the current players on the skating treadmill.

Hockey is truly a family affair for the entire Aldrich clan.
