Jim Ogonowski asked about Cincy hotels.  There's a link from Lee Urton and
Tim Brule's college Hockey Home Page to Final Four Ticket info and then to
Cincinnati hotel info:
 
http://cinci.com/visitors/hotellst.html#downtown
That's where I got most of my info.  There seem to be a few hotels who will
tell you they have no vacancies.  I assume these are holding rooms for the
teams/fans that might be made available once just before the event once the
teams have qualified.

Just one Gopher hockey URL today (Minnesota hockey fans and writers are
occupied with the HS tourney, I suspect!):  Pat Reusse's* column about
Brian Bonin.
 
(yes, Reusse, the "hockey-hater" -- but I'm on record here as being one of
the few Gopher hockey fans who likes Reusse...)
