College hockey is here. Totally snuck up on me. LFG!

This message resonated with the Sun Devils, who dominated play for the entirety of their 16-0 rout of Arizona (2-1-0). The Wildcats simply couldn’t keep the puck out of their own end, and it showed on the scoresheet. ASU finished the night with a 72-19 advantage in shots, never taking their foot off the gas pedal against their hated foe.

Worth mentioning is that Arizona is a club team and ASU is D1. From what I saw on twitter, supposedly they played with a running clock after 7-0.

Friars off to a fast start with a split at #5 Michigan and home wins over #2 Denver and RPI (featuring 2 SHGs). Only wins for any of my teams this past weekend.

They're headed out to the Mullett for two vs ASU Thanksgiving weekend.

I've got box tickets for Friday, December 1st when the golden gophers come to town. I'm hoping I'll go to a game or two before then, but really looking forward to the season.

I think I'm going to take my family for some of the women's games. Tickets are practically free, it's not as loud or crowded, and we can enjoy an evening watching hockey, eating popcorn, and hanging out as a family.

Seeing the top 10 ranked (formerly #1) womens soccer team for free ain't a bad deal either.

I switched my company tickets to last night instead of Friday night. Really fun game last night in happy valley, so I’m pleased with the switch.

Pegula has gotta be one of the best college hockey arenas in the country. I’ve never been, but I’ve seen pictures of others and psu’s rink is great in comparison.

I've only been to PSU and Providence and PSU is like a mini NHL rink. Providence, which I assume is similar to what most "traditional" college teams have is like going to the local rink for a high school game but with a few thousand thousand seats. Pegula is almost exactly 2x seating capacity of Schneider.

It's pretty incredible how they have created Hockey Valley out of basically nothing. Yeah, Pegula's a wealthy benefactor who's plowed a ton of cash into it but when you compare it to the continued and aforementioned in Hoops thread basketball backwater PSU is, it's pretty impressive.

Going through the roster- 9 of 26 players are from PA with another 6 from NJ, NY, and OH. They're pulling in the best college players from the region and still pulling players like Fink and Souliere out of Canada.

Right now they are #17 in Pairwise so they need to pick it up a bit to make the tourney, but they're right in the mix at this point. Nice split with Gophers this weekend.

Just when I thought I had seen the most awesome thing on Youtube I saw this 14 year old pregame hype video for Alaska Fairbanks and watched it all afternoon. It has a polar bear, jet fighters, space travel, Kenny Loggins, a shipwreck, destruction of Ohio State, and a guitar riff from a 40 year old Laura Branigan song. I think that’s all you need.

Your boy Broz with the 2OT winner in the frozen four opener

[JC2]

The wagon that is #1 BC survives against Quinnipiac in OT...

Unfortunate since he's a Caps prospect, but Ryan Leonard is looking like a player

[JC2]

Broz again with an OT winner! Sending DU to the title game this time.

Great game. BC was an offensive juggernaut all season, but DU really limited their chances until moments in the 3rd.
