If I were the college hockey czar, I'd set aside 100 Frozen Four tickets for Michigan Tech students. And I'd make their band the house band. Accordions rule.

I assume Gopher fans with Frozen Four tickets will sell them because they're not interested in watching B1G hockey.

Tomorrow was supposed to be the start of the NCAA Frozen Four in Detroit. Since it’s cancelled and we’re all bummed, we’re all going to wear hockey sweaters to make the day a little more tolerable.

ESPN showed some college hockey reruns last week, but it didn’t feel authentic because the first period wasn’t joined in progress following an OT college lacrosse game.

Season post-mortem: Lots to fix in NCAA hockey. 1. Officiating is awful.2. Crackdown on obstruction is necessary.3. Regionals are a mess.4. Frozen Four was a disappointment. Been watching college hockey for a long time, and this is the most blah year I can remember.

Fun fact: Michigan State scored 100 goals this season for the first time since 2011-12. Minnesota scored 25 goals in 4 games against MSU this season.

Justen Close doesn’t get enough credit for being thrust into a virtual no-win situation when Lafontaine left mid-2022 and becoming an absolute workhorse in goal.

@SaraCivian Hockey is not fun. It’s about working hard and respect and playing the right way and then going home and hitching a plow behind a mule and working the land until your hands bleed.

Little embarrassed to admit, but I was so excited about #GOSWEATERSWOOOOO that I woke up at 7:45 am to see if anyone had posted. This was a lot of fun. Hope we raised a few bucks for Detroit hospitality workers. Let’s not do it again next year.

Best John McKay quote: Following a 51-0 loss to Notre Dame in 1966. "I told my team it doesn't matter. There are 750 million people in China who don't even know this game was played. The next day, a guy called me from China and asked, 'What happened, Coach?'".
