Re: Bottom-feeders 2016-17

Not familiar with that.

Really, the best idea would be the frozen run-off of a septic system somewhere north of Denali, guaranteed to still be hard at this time of year. Non-descript location, requires a bush pilot to get the teams there. Only temp seating...maybe 150 folding chairs set up around the 'rink'

I used italics....it's an okay hockey movie, set in "Alaska" starring Russel Crowe and Burt Reynolds, think 90's cheese you sorta kinda maybe like.

Are we ready for an international regional location? "Growing the game" by hosting a regional in Japan!

In that case, let's try Mexico.

Seeing as this past year has been the year of the **** (the slur word for husbandry issues) I propose the regionals be held at the home sites of this years frozen four participants

We can have our Futile Four there.

We can have our Futile Four there.

If it gets delayed long enough, the Wall will keep them from reentering via the Southern Boulder.

They'll need a boat to get to Canada and try to reenter from there.

We need one more regional site. I think Mexico would be a great place to have the Futile Four.

I have also been informed that NMU has been training to lose in round one on purpose. Our radio guy has agreed to be our "coach" for this game.

One of the Alaska sites would work, since all 4 teams in Group 1 would have to travel long distances.
If NMU loses round 1, they would be playing again in round 2, since the losers "advance".

We'll put group 1 in Denali at the Wastewater Filtration plant.

Also, I hear John Focke and Ashley Scharge, two of the worst PBP guys in NMU history, have agreed to work the radios for this event. They agreed to do it for a 30 of Natty.

Will radio coverage of the Futile Four event in Mexico compromise attendance? Assuming no radio broadcasts of regionals, right?

Mexican radio has said they'll put the games on at 2 AM, when no one is listening.

Once again, the USCHOHRPA will be providing "coverage" of this tournament. As per tradition, we will be using CW mode only, and will be broadcasting on bands that are generally dead at their respective time of day.

I work second shift, just got home, turned on the radio, and I think I can make out some scores:

Group 1
Niagara vs Arizona State- ASU 1- Niagara 4
Lake Superior vs RIT- LSSU 2- RIT 3
Group 2
Brown vs Maine- Brown 3- Maine 4
American International vs Alaska- AIC 0- Alaska 1
Group 3
UMass vs Northern Michigan- UMass 0-NMU 1 OT
RPI vs Ferris St- RPI 2- Ferris St 4
Group 4
Alaska Anchorage vs Michigan St- Sparty 0- UAA 2
Alabama Huntsville vs Colgate- Huntsville 2, Colgate 3

Regional Finals are set:

Group 1
AZ State vs. LSSU

Group 2
Brown vs. AIC

Group 3
UMass vs. RPI

Group 4
Michigan State vs. Alabama Huntsville

Depending on what time I get home tomorrow, scores will be posted right after I walk through the door.

Arizona State 3- LSSU 4

Group 2:
Brown 1- AIC 3

Group 3:
UMass 4- RPI 5, OT

Group 4:

Once again, Mexican radio has assured me that these games will be broadcast at 2 AM local time, meaning no one will listen to them.
