Keep in mind, Illinois-Chicago did not play three or four of their normal star
ters, this according to a classmate of mine who plays for the Flames. I think
Pedrie (UIC head coach) was looking to save them for the Division I opener vs.
Air Force 2 days later. The UIC-UIUC game was solely an exhibition game.
Maybe if Pedrie played everyone and they skated like it was a game that
counted, the margin probably would have been 10+ goals.
Nothing against the Fighting Illini, I have seen them play, and they are indeed
(last season at least) one of the best club teams in the nation. You just
can't compare a club sport to NCAA Div. I. I hope one day they will put some m
oney into the hockey program and make it into a Div. I team. I would love to
see an inter UofI rivalry, like one that has started recently in basketball.
I personally am pulling for both the Flames and the Illini this year, as usual.
Best of luck to both!
