Recapping last week's predictions quickly, CHODR was 24-14 counting
Clarkson's tie with Maine a miss since Maine was favored by 3.5
goals.  The coming weekend promises to be another exciting one
highlighted by some key rivalries in the North Country, the state of
Minnesota, and the state of Alaska.
 
We begin, as always, in the ECAC, where things are still somewhat
scattered this weeekend.  Air Force visits Yale for a pair and looks
to be in for a rough time of it.  Round one of the north country
showdown will take place and promises to be a barnburner at Appleton
Arena with the visiting Knights favored by just a tenth of a goal.
