I can relate to that. Similar in Ontario, a vast province. Places like Toronto and London are well below the 45th parallel, and much milder than places like Ottawa, Sudbury and North Bay. In this neck of the woods, once you are more than 50-60 miles north of the great lakes, it tends to be 10 degrees (Celcius) colder on many a January day.

Remember days driving from London or Toronto, to Ottawa or Montreal, it would a little below freezing in Toronto, and once you pass Kingston the temp would quickly drop from -5/-10C to -20/-25C in a real hurry.

Just doing a little conversion for Celsius challenged south of the border types (such as myself).

-5C is +23F.

-10C is +14F

-20C is -4F.

-25C is -13F.

This looks like work for a math major, TTT20 should be doing this, not me.

And a tiny bit of geography while I am at it, I currently live about 1/8 of a mile north of the 45th parallel. I brag to the living farther south members of my family that I at least live in the north half of the northern hemisphere. As you point out, some of the major population centers of Canada are actually SOUTH from where I live.

Another Math major -- and Statistics Masters degree recipient -- at your service.

You missed the fun one: -40 is -40. Or, as I like to say, weather not to be trifled with. :eek: :cool:

For being down at #11, the mention is kind of lumped with every other college team that won something. But I do like the photo.

Not to mention being lumped into the "outside the mainstream" category!

...it is also noted that Noora Räty and Mira Jalosuo have been invited to be on Team Finland's roster for the tournament (which is newer news).

I vaguely recall reading that Räty said she would no longer play in these international competitions during the college season. Not to say she wouldn't change her mind and will end up accepting this invitation...

I've been monitoring Team Finland's web site (which isn't easy seeing as I can't read Finnish :o ), but they haven't posted a tournament roster yet.

Whatever happens, it is, of course, her choice to decide as to which course of action wouild be best for HER, with due consideration as to what would be best for her Gophers' team.

Does she need the (mental) break and time off, deciding that the time away from the competition would be beneficial, in terms of staying sharp for the second half? Or would facing (lots of) shots in real game situations in games vs. Canada and the USA help her prepare for the Gophers' second half stretch?

Only Norra, with knowledgeable input from her coaches, will be in the best position to decide which course of action will be the best to pursue!

Well, the Finns made it official this morning. The page is in Finnish, but it's clearly the team roster for the tournament (and I ran it through Google Translate to verify). http://www.leijonat.fi/maajoukkueet/naisleijonat/item/6138-t%C3%A4ss%C3%A4-naisten-meco-cupiin-l%C3%A4htev%C3%A4-joukkue.html

Needless to say we Gopher fans wish her the best of luck!

(except when her team is playing the USA, then not so much! ;) )

Senior Megan Bozek, sophomore Amanda Kessel, and freshmen Hannah Brandt, Milica McMillen, and Lee Stecklein will join alumni Sarah Erickson, Gigi Marvin and Anne Schleper at the USA Hockey Women's National Team Winter Camp in Blaine.

Good news -- Team USA has announced their Women's National Team Winter Camp roster.

Bad news -- that announcement was broken by the University of Minnesota, not by USA Hockey.

The article is primarily about the 8 current and former Gophers participating at the camp, but does has links to the rosters of the two 18-member squads.

There are also three games open to the public at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine, MN: Dec. 28 at 6:30 p.m.; Dec. 29 at 6:00 p.m.; and Dec. 31 at 8:45 a.m. (all times Central).
