In what was one of the more memorable hockey weekends here in Tucson, the
Arizona IceCats defeated the North Dakota State Bison.
 
Arizona   Fri 4  Sat 7
NDSU          3      5
 
According to the Arizona Daily Wildcat, the #7 IceCats are 10-0 and the #1
Bison are 6-3.  It also says that the current rankings were due out that Friday
but had not come out as of Saturday. So the rankings are a week behind...
 
After drawing 6700+ on Friday, the game on Saturday was 7000+ and sold out,
standing room only. ( For a club team, this is really amazing, at least to me)
I listened to part of Saturday's game on the radio and the announcers talked
about how the IceCat games are the third most attended event in Tucson (behind
Div I Football and Basketball).
