Does anyone know who the Michigan fan is who wears the #21 Handel jersey? I just want to wish him luck with his pregnancy. He looks like he's about to burst and I'm sure he's due any day now. Best wishes to baby and dad!

I love the games at Yost, one of the best atmospheres for college hockey in the country.
Didn't come up last year as it WAS the weekend of THE GAME and I felt Ohio license plates wouldn't be a good thing to be seen there but for that weekend only, never a problem other times.
You don't need to worry about being unsafe down here for hockey and they don't schedule our home hockey games any more on Saturdays when there's a home football game.

Michigan fans aren't violent for the most part. Sure on the odd Blue-moon you may run across a drunk Walmart Wolverine but like I said most will at most heckle you. That being said it was probably a good decision to pass this year. Parking was somewhat limited and people weren't too happy. For the vast majority of times feel free to come up though. We'll take your money.

I'm flying out to Minneapolis Wednesday late afternoon, anyone else? What are your plans other than the game? I know that there is a ton to do but is anyone going to the Michigan vs Notre Dame Pregame Meetup and Watch Party (https://www.facebook.com/events/2510433695847900/)?

Good luck against ND! I hope to see Michigan play us in the Championship game.

Thursday. And there may be a gathering on Thursday afternoon at a bar near the rink. A UM organized one.

McGovern's is an awesome spot. I went there before the 2011 FF and had a great time. Super close to the rink, good food, good drinks. Fun fact, also a Steeler's bar for NFL games.

No one is still bitter about him leaving, we understand that part. But it would be nice if he would stop contacting our recruits.
