It's A Great Day For Hockey
Re: One last dance: The final Peters Cup Playoffs
SNC wins 3-0!

No doubt, one of the biggest days in SNC Hockey history.Yep, they still have brat burgers and cold beer!
The feed at the Abbey wasn't great either--in fact my wife and I ended up helping them get things set up. The place had 25-30 people maybe and most were not there to watch the game. We ended up heading home after the 1st to watch the UWEC video and listen to Tim D's audio. The 2 weren't in sync (off by about a minute) but not enough to seriously affect enjoying the game. SNC fans that made the trip to UWEC were awesome.
And how about the SNC women? 3-2 OT winners to take the O'Brien Cup!
In case anyone is wondering, the Peters Cup and O'Brien Cup winners tonight do not get to permanently get to keep the trophy going forward.
So where will the Peters Cup go? To a locker somewhere? Get scrapped?

Donating the trophy itself might work because being the best team in your conference over several months definitely deserves some recognition. I'd be surprised if they kept the Peters Cup name though since Bob Peters has no connection to the MCHA.
Agreed that the lack of Peters' connection to those schools is, at the least, awkward. Not to say that Bob Peters isn't worth remembering, though. While I doubt Tim would have any part of it, it could be dubbed the Peters-Coghlin trophy (in the vein of all of those dual-named Big Ten football awards).
That said, I would hope the larger D3 hockey world doesn't have an issue honoring Peters (if that's indeed what happens).
I don't see it simply residing in an SNC trophy case "retired" however.
