Shaved Ice – April 9
Happy Tuesday, everybody. Helene St. James of the Free Press points out that the demands of the shortened NHL season have the Red Wings’ playoff hopes in serious jeopardy. Are you prepared to see Hockeytown’s 21-year playoff streak come to an end? Sure hope it doesn’t. Ryan Kesler played in his first game since breaking his…

Rainy Monday. Yesterday the NHL confirmed one of the worst-kept secrets in sports – that the Winter Classic and Hockeytown Winter Festival will still be coming to our great state.

Shaved Ice – March 29
DeKeyser Watch continues. You know, we were waiting for Danny DeKeyser to make a decision before posting Shaved Ice today, but…well, we’re posting Shaved Ice anyways. Look like the reports of him announcing his decision at noon were not reliable. We’re still anxiously waiting to see where the Michigan native and Western Michigan defenseman ends…

Shaved Ice – March 28
Waiting is the hardest part. Arguably the two best defensemen in Michigan’s college hockey scene have big decisions to make right now.
