New Years Day College Hockey

If the Winter Classic isn't enough for you, those folks with Directv and Dish networks can pick up a University of Nebraska at Omaha game at about 8:00 pm.

Indianapolis in the IHL

feeds@yuku.com (hoosierhockey) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:04:49 GMT

I know the men who created the Gems tried to place a team here in Indy first, but the USHL kept that from happening. A lot of people speculate that if the IHL could pull in a city like Indy as a team, that other Midwestern markets that aren't doing so well in the ECHL/AHL would be willing to jump ship. Honestly, I love the IHL because it's a good ol' Midwestern bus league and that is more than enough for me as a hockey fan. Although I do love the current Ice and am impressed with...

What caused goalie Tomas Vokoun's recent headache? Ear whacks.

Another place for World Skating Academy?

feeds@yuku.com (geezette) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:08:23 GMT

If the Tennis tournament moves out, is there enough interest to keep all the courts functioning? If not, wouldn't that be a great place to put in a couple of new ice rinks?
It would still give the WSA the same locale they have now and give whatever hockey folks that aren't northsiders something closer that the Fairgrounds.

There is a neat story on www.slam.canoe.ca click on hockey and then click on archives and go down the Nov 10 entries for "rookie made ultimate sacrifice".

Brodeur is about to catch Terry Sawchuk for the most shutouts in NHL history. I wish we had a banner for him. He actually played at the Coliseum.

Hoosier Hockey Blog

feeds@yuku.com (hoosierhockey) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:34:09 GMT

Hopefully this doesn't get pulled because it's considered advertising, but I've started a new blog called The Hoosier Hockey Blog. It's dedicated to hockey within the state of Indiana and I'd love to have a lot of contributions from other hockey fans in Indiana. I'm looking for anecdotes, uniform concepts, pretty much anything from fellow fans. You can check it out here:

Sauce Hockey

feeds@yuku.com (iowaninja) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:02:52 GMT

Sauce Hockey is a new clothing line for hockey, much like DC for the skateboarding community. Sauce Hockey was created and owned by a few people that may be known to USHL fans. Former RoughRider Brett Beckfeld started this company with the help of a friend of his from Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids. Another former RoughRider, Derek Peltier, is in on the venture as a brand ambassador. Check out sauce hockey apparel at their website

2010 NHL Draft

feeds@yuku.com (geezette) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:32:08 GMT

One of the really fun things to do for long time fans is to attend the NHL draft. For quite a few years, the draft has moved from city to city with fans being able to look on. They have normally advertised where the next draft will be at the draft. There was no such announcement at the 2009 draft. As a matter of fact, there is still no announcement. There is speculation that no one wants to spend the money to put on the event and it may just turn into a hotel ballroom event that only the...

Invitation to visit another board

Freon strikes again

There was a gas leak at Pan Am today which caused an evacuation. Is this just an isolated incident, or a sign that the cooling system needs replacement? Would there be any funds available for replacement or major repairs?
I hate the thought of the facilty being shut down, alrhough it's probably inevitable. If Pan Am goes, then there would only be one sheet of ice inside I 465. Of course, there are not many affluent neighborhoods indside I 465 either!

Switcheroo

Not a strong connection to hockey, but itsn't it a little bit funny that the Nashville Predators farm club is the Milwaukee Admirals, and Nashville's AAA baseball team is the affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers?

AAHL & MWHL "Merge"

feeds@yuku.com (Ice4Life) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:55:55 GMT

Just in case you missed it...

Earlier this week, the AAHL (formerly the AAHA and the current home of the Evansville IceMen) and the MWHL (which has never actually started playing) agreed to merge. The MWHL originally wanted to start last season, but never could get organized. They've been hoping to start this season, but that hasn't been going well either. So they finally threw up their hands and agreed to a "merger" with the AAHL. In reality, the AAHL absorbed the...

2010 NHL draft

feeds@yuku.com (geezette) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:37:04 GMT

I thought it was a bit peculiar that the NHL didn't announce when and where for the next draft. Maybe they can't find anyone who wants the expense of having it? Or maybe they were going to say Phoenix and they couldn't decide if there will be a team there? Maybe they are trying to work a deal with Las Vegas? Anybody have any ideas?

Hart (Regular Season MVP)
Finalists: Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Pavel Datsyuk
Pick: Malkin was great in the playoffs, but this is a regular season award. You can make a great case for both Ovechkin and Malkin, but I'm guessing Alex will get the nod because he's unquestionably the...
