      Last weekend was the final regular season weekend for the Big Ten. The conference tournament starts tomorrow (Thursday). If Michigan State loses they're done.

          Where are the regionals and finals this year? Hunting for just the wrong sheet for a hockey game was always half the fun.

              Well obviously. We don't have to let the teams know until an hour or two before the games.

                        The lake may be closed to the public, but I don't see why that should deter the Futile Four from playing here. I know the scenic location is a drawback, but since the quality of the ice is so inferior to the standard arena, that should outweigh the beauty of the environment. After all skaters will have to keep their heads down to spot patches where there is NO ice only cold, cold water. And then there's the altitude of 7040-7220, some could experience mild symptoms of altitude sickness. (Thats over 1000 feet more than the CC arena.)

                              There's a barn in Skowhegan that has a sheet of ice. I don't mean it's a barn in the figurative sense, I mean it's a barn. Don't know if there's cows or horses in there, but I'm sure we could bring some in for the games. It's a pretty rural location, but it is only a few miles from an Interstate.

                              Another choice would be a pond in Jackman, ME. It's a nice rural location right near the US-Canadian border. No arena (or barn) but players can get dressed in the woods. As a bonus, if it snows the players will have to clear the pond off before they play. If it's an early spring they can play water polo instead.
