Hockey, Hockey, Hockey- All March Long!

We spent most of March going to college hockey games and our NCAA brackets we fill out are for the Frozen Four not the Final Four.

We took the boys to Bemidji in November and got to watch Tech's 9th and 10th wins and then have a #1 in the Nation ranking! All season we watched Friday and Saturday night hockey games by streaming them on WCHA.com. In the end of February we did our last trip to a Tech away game with our friend from work Brian and his 4 boys (his wife Jen was getting their house ready to sell). We were sad to see them move away from Hutch to Missouri and sad that the tradition of a weekend away for a Tech hockey game is over (we've been going with them to Tech hockey games since before Adam was born- 9 years!). 

We've been going to the WCHA tournament every year since Eli was almost one and this year we went and Tech finally not only made the tournament, but won a game (and won the first two periods of the championship game before Mankato beat them when it mattered in the last period). We took the boys and made a weekend out of being in St. Paul at the X with stops at the Science Museum. We even went to the alumni event for the NCAA selection with the hockey team on Sunday.

 

 
 
My parents go to the Frozen Four every year and I've always told Dave if Michigan Tech makes it to the NCAA tournament we would go. Well they made it and we went to the Regionals in North Dakota. It was an amazing Faux Huskies vs. Tech Huskies game and unfortunately the wrong dogs came out on top, but we had fun watching the hockey and having a weekend away without the boys.
 




 

And as one of my not so favorite but favorite (because it means Tech scored) cheers goes: "Do it again, do it again, we liked it, we liked it!" It was a great season to be a Tech fan, can't wait to see the Huskies do great again next season!
This Tech Alum definitely won best shoes at the NCAA tournament and we got to sit right next to them and cheer for hockey after Tech lost. Seriously had too much fun cheering for the guys shoveling the rink.
