Shaved Ice – November 19
Welcome back to the work week. At least there’s a national holiday built into this one. Milford native Blake Pietila had a big weekend for the Michigan Tech Huskies, making him our Michi-gamer this morning. The Huskies posted two wins over Bemidji State – crucial points in the WCHA standings. However, the Huskies were one…

After all, we feel connections…

Shaved Ice – November 12
Quite a weekend of college hockey, especially if you were following green or blue… The Spartans and the Wolverines renewed their in-state rivalry this weekend, and the two games certainly didn’t disappoint. On Friday, the Wolverines took care of business at Yost, knocking off the visiting Spartans 5-1. Then, on Saturday, the Spartans found revenge,…

By Darren Eliot – As we all follow along as best we can to the finally on-going dialogue between the NHL and NHLPA, the entire process becomes annoying. First, we miss NHL hockey. Second, information is scant, but commentary is epic. Except for a couple of sources – Aaron Ward of TSN and John Shannon…
