I'm sure Michigan State would love another shot at Central Florida.

Eastern Michigan vs. Lindenwood rematch?

Also, the unbeaten teams (Lindenwood, MSU, Rutgers) should play each other, or at least have 2 of them play.

Lindenwood vs. Michigan State and/or Central Florida

Kleinberg- Michigan State has not received anything about a B team coming.... Im all ears, but the league doesn't want us to play anyone until nationals from outside our region i guess. Such a shame.

[NHouser]

B Teams attending - Buffalo, Penn State, Towson, Rutgers, Drexel, Lindenwood Gold and Black, University of Michigan and possibly Eastern Michigan. LU, U-M and EMU were the first to request B team exhibition play. This event weekend is obviously going to be huge and the schedule will be very tight so there is still a question as to whether there will be room to fit EMU's B team.

Keep in mind, this thread was started to get input on game match-ups for the DI teams. Thanks!

[Calig]

well we want in... get ahold of me with info

[InlineMBA]

WOW!

I guess I better get my plane tickets, this one sounds to good to miss.

Hats off to Central Florida for making the trip. It sure is nice to see this kind of commitment from all the teams involved for a regular season event.

Hey thanks for the hats off to us!! We all worked very hard down here to make this trip happen. We ran a fundraiser called "My Sports Dreams" and raised over $7k for the trip!! The whole team is very excited to head up there and play some new schools we haven't seen in the past!! We are hoping to get a pretty complete schedule with teams from each region attending!

[FrankFrank]

Any talk of any Div III teams making an apperance other then the couple ECRHA squads?

Note to self: take off work and road trip it to Pittsburgh.

[NHouser]

Hey FF! Sorry, no, there is just no room! This event is booked solid!

btw...please email me w/ any info. re: baby Frank~Frank!

[Ben Lambert]

Sure wish things were different for us this year. We would have shown for sure!!

[InlineMBA]

Oh well - I would really liked to have gone, but when I checked the air flights into Pittsburgh, everything was non-jet aircraft. NO WAY you're getting me on a prop-job from Newark to Pittsburgh. ENJOY - I'm sure it will be great fun to watch.

Man up and drive.

[InlineMBA]

Man up and drive.

Uhhhhhh....................... NO

I'd have to take Friday off and Monday off, no can do.

If I could fly out Friday night and return Sunday night (and not on "non-jet equipment") I could swing it. After driving out to Detroit sooooo....... many times for TORHS, I just can't hack the long drives anymore.

Plus, with the wife - alone - in the car for 5 hours, just shoot me now.

I occasionally take Southwest from Philly to Pittsburgh to hang out with friends on the weekend. Usually is pretty cheap and is not a prop jet...I don't know your travel time to PHL, but if your determined to do it, Philly to Pburg is a $40 one way ticket 90% of the time...

Yeah, but how are YOU going to get there???

ZING!

Sorry, just had to... ;)

[InlineMBA]

Yeah, but how are YOU going to get there???

Looks like US Airways (EWR to PIT), round-trip @ $115.00. That's do-able.

Steve Inge @ ROXBURY 8

ps - yeah, I know what your point was......har, har, hardy, har, har.

pss - hardly ever watch my son play anyway, so I'm looking forward to the Lindenwood vs Michigan State match-up, the Buffalo vs Lindenwood and Michigan State match-ups, and the RU vs Ohio State and Lindenwood match-ups. Should be a really fun weekend. Really glad both rinks are in one place!

[TUcoach]

There's been some changes made to the schedule;

This one is toooo...... good to miss - I'll bite the bullet and drive the 5 1/2 hours.

The Mrs. has agreed to sleep in the Thule roof carrier for the duration of the drive.

ps - If anyone says anything to her about these posts, I'm a dead man.

[AJ Barnett]

This one should be really good. Looking forward to hearing the turnout of the Central Florida vs. Buffalo match-up and especially the Lindenwood vs. Rutgers match-up.

[InlineMBA]

It sure is going to be hard on Saturday night at midnight watching two games at once:

Rutgers vs Ohio State

Buffalo vs Michigan State

Looking forward to the "buzz" at the rinks. I didn't go to Winternationals this year, so I need my "fix".

I am going to have a hard time deciding when to sleep this weekend. With four games and then all those exciting games to watch/report on, im not sure that i will be able to be awake for these two...

[TUcoach]

There is snow moving into the Pittsburgh area, please drive safely!

[InfernoHockey]

We here at Hot Shots Sports Arena are very excited to have everyone out for this weekend's college games. You will find that this is an ideal facility for this event. Games that are going on at the same time will be easy to watch because there are no walls dividing the two rinks. Both games can be viewed from our bleachers.
We wish everyone competing the best of luck! I know that the hockey community in the Pittsburgh area is looking forward to this event.

Have a safe trip!

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID ! ! !

We just got to the hotel and the ride on the PA Turnpike was fine, a few snow squals, but no accumulations. JUST NEED LOTS OF WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID or you will be driving blind. Lots of junk getting thrown up from the road surface by all the trucks.

Steve Inge - ROXBURY 8

[William Bourque]

Snow Squals? LOL

We (Me & My Sister) decided to head out really early today and headed to Blue Knob for some skiing. We hit the mountain around 10am and it was around 14 degrees out and slightly snowy.

By noon it was whiteout condition making skiing nearly impossible. A good amount of snow had fallen while we were skiing as we had a hard time getting the Explorer out of the parking lot.

Roads seemed to be in good shape elsewhere though.

[RichardGraham]

Hi Folks,

It was 77 degrees in Burbank today, but with the air conditioning up fairly high at the local Starbucks, it was quite a bit chilly.

FYI. :D

[AJ Barnett]

It was rather warm here in Colorado today, around 55. Nice day to get out and take a walk. But somehow it was in the low to mid twenty's in the rink today, just something that reminded me why I prefer the inline game to the ice game. NO FREEZERS!!! ;)

Scores from Mt. Pleasant, PA:

Michigan State 6 - Buffalo 5

Rutgers 6 - Ohio State 4
