Given the previous "loaded" years, I can't say that I think we will make it to Boston.

Recall the 1996/97 team. Lost 3 games all season. Going into the postseason everyone was giving us the National Champions trophy with everyone else playing for 2nd place. Boston U. had something different to say about that.

I remember more the Jack Johnson years, where they never made it to the FF, and then the year after he was gone, they did.

Yeah. 4 of the top 5 picks is crazy. I hope they can gel as a team and don't have an ego problem. Perhaps with that many projected super stars they can push each other and also keep each other in line.

side question- do you have my contact info? and do you have scarlet's as well? She is in the market for something I might help with..... maybe.

I have neither of your contact info.


Now, can we talk about how the GLI will not be the GLI this year? For those remembering the CCHA days...it's college hockey showcase format with Tech and Western playing at Yost and Munn.

I'll have to fix that at the beginning of the season. Assuming that you can contact other board members....

What??? Did the long standing agreement with Olympia Entertainment fall through? They have supported the GLI for decades.

From what I've read, LCA had scheduling conflicts.....a bunch of performances they want to host and haven't been able to during the pandemic.

I wish organizers had tried for Van Andel....I don't see anything on their website/schedule between 12/22 - 12/30

Who knows, by then we may need more social distancing. Perfect for the GLI. LOL.

Thank you for warming my day with this wonderful memory. *smile*

Close to wastern but that's it. For Tech it makes no difference but considering the GLI had attendance issues anyway (well actually not that bad) it's better to stay in more populated areas. I actually foresee a minor attendance issue at Munn this year anyway.

When I first heard about the GLI being on campus this year I assumed immediately that it was due to scheduling issues. I'm not crying, it is what it is with what we had to endure last year. No it isn't a traditional GLI but it's better than nothing.

Does anyone know where the league tournament will be held next year?
 
I might be wrong but.... wasn't the Big10 Championship for hockey being played 'on campus' sites rather then a half empty arena.

Yes, last year it was campus sites but I attribute to Rona.
As I recall years prior to that the first round was campus sites but the semifinals and finals were at JLA.

I'm pretty sure the move to campus sites were not due to 'rona.. I recall not being happy when they made that announcement- at the B1G has been INCREDIBLY lazy promoting the championship. Made me really mad about that.
 
Minor scheduling note: Michigan's October visit to the Ice Breaker will feature a 7:37 CDT face-off on Friday the 15th against UMD. According to UMD's website, UMD will get the late game Saturday regardless of the results of Friday's game, so Michigan will the early game Saturday, which I will guess will be 3 pm.

It's a major scheduling note for me, of course. The first time a team of mine has come to the place I live since I moved here in '09. Yes, I see them in Minneapolis (or Madison, etc) from time to time, but this is home, less than 10 minutes from my house. It's going to be great.

Would be even greater if we could get a couple of these first-rounders on campus again. I'm more optimistic than I should be, since they've all spoken positively about it, but I'm not exactly bursting with confidence; I've been a fan of this program for a long time.

Yeah, I stand corrected.
I checked the B1G website archives. They moved to campus sites for the 2018 tourney.

Did anyone utilize the season ticket upgrade? I don't have many priority points....so by my time (almost 2 pm Thursday) I didn't see any options I liked better than my current seats. Granted, I like my current seats. I would have tried to move to an aisle in my section, or 1 over if available...but the only ones available would have had me moving back 7+ rows. So, in section 13 I shall stay.

We didn't. Like our seats more than enough to just stay there.
