    It doesn't have to be whatever you consider a "Power Team" there are plenty of other teams that are good enough and valuable enough to have on the NC schedule to invite to this tournament.

      I'm excited that we're getting a new president from a Big 5 Conference. LSU fans are as crazy as they come so I'm confident he'll embrace and promote the hockey program.

      I loved Glenn but I always felt he was too provincial having been in Houghton since the 70s. I once asked him if any high-tech companies came to recruit at Tech and he said, "Yes, Ford and Boeing." Really? What about Google, Apple, Intel, Facebook, Oracle, Microsoft?

      The stacked MTU was the most recognizable logo Tech has ever had but Glenn detested abbreviating Technological to Tech. He thought it sounded like a trade school. Really? Ever heard of MIT, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Cal Tech, Texas Tech?

      So I'm comfortable with the choice. I only hope he doesn't freeze to death in the winter. The King is Dead, long live the King...

          Joe says that the Saturday game at Bemidji is likely to be an outdoor game, per a conversation with Tom Serratore.

            I would assume that would be part of Hockey Day Minnesota which Bemidji is hosting. FoxSportsNorth typically covers all the high school games that are played that day. It will be interesting to see if they stick around for the college game or if they break away due to the Goofers or Wild playing.....

            Of course, other cities have hosted Hockey Day Minnesota and had the rink in use for the whole week so as many teams as possible could use the outdoor rink as possible. So I suppose it is possible that the Beavers and Huskies could play the Saturday before or the Saturday after.

              They could've done a full hour and had enough to talk about.

              Goalies and the outdoor game were my takeaways.

              Sounds like Beydoun, Kero and Jurusik next year. Interesting background from Joe, trying to cover possibly losing Packy (intention to sign pro) and Kero (graduation) and then both want to come back with an already committed player.

                Really?

                I'm starting to think Munson doesn't know what he wants.

                  yes, it would be part of Bemidji hosting Hockey Day Minnesota in January or February 2019.

                    While ideally, BSU and Tech would play on Hockey Day Minnesota, the actual date is going to depend on which weekend the Wild are home. That won't be known until the July 1 announcement of Hockey Day Minnesota. I know a lot of the communities that have hosted HDM have left the rink up for a week to maximize the number of teams that get to play on outdoor ice. So, in theory, HDM could be January 12th, 19th (rumored Tech/BSU game, we will know more on Wednesday), or 26th depending on the Wild Home Schedule. But BSU and Tech will be playing outside on one of those Saturdays, which could be HDM or could be a week before or a week after.

                      Sure thats possible, but there is a big difference between not officially knowing until the NHL releases its schedule and "knowing." HDM has never been earlier before January 17th, 9 out of 12 years it has fallen between January 17th and 22nd. and the other 3 were 2nd weekend in February...MTU is not playing at BSU the 2nd weekend of February...who knows but it seems likely that HDM will be January 19th.

                        Hopefully, since I booked 3 hotel rooms for Jan 19th a week ago.

                          Debating between Clarkson and Wisco (cannot do both). MSN is easier to get to, and has mainline DL service, whereas Clarkson requires at least some driving, whether I use my NEXUS card to cut through Ontario, or fly to SYR on an RJ and do a Hertz rental (2.5 hour drive from there, it seems).

                            If I was doing Clarkson, I would fly in to Burlington or somewhere over there a day early and drive through Lake Placid.

                              Had not thought of that.

                              Albany would also potentially make sense in that scenario.
