Hot off of the TechAlum mailing list, here's the updated schedule
for Michigan Tech's upcoming season.  It's pretty much the same
as the preliminary one posted by Bob Gilreath a few weeks ago,
but includes a couple exhibition games that weren't listed in that
version.
 
Comments:
 
- I'm glad to see the Ferris / Lake Superior weekend early in the
  season.  Tech and Ferris had a good rivalry back in their CCHA days,
  and there's always good hockey when U.P. teams play each other.
 
- The 3 week "break" between the Alaska trip and GLI worries me.  The
  team is going to need to keep a lot of focus to avoid a disaster in
  Detroit.  (No offense to Cornell fans -- but I wish we would have
  drawn you in the first round instead of Michigan!)
 
- The last two weekends of the regular season are going to be tough;
  a long trip out to this year's suprise team in the WCHA, finishing up
  with the always-challenging trip to Madison.
 
Obviously, without Jamie Ram between the pipes, the key to Tech having
a decent season will be for the defense to mature -- VERY quickly.  If
they don't, it's going to be a long season for Huskie fans.
 
Oh well, enough rambling... is it October yet???  :-)

P.S.  For any Tech alumni out there, I've also included instructions

P.P.S  A *VERY* nice suprise tonight:  I looked on the "grid" in TV
Guide, and saw "Ice Hockey: Women's World Championships" listed from
8-10pm on the Madison Square Garden channel.  Needless to say, I almost
fell off my seat!  Women's hockey on in *prime time*?  Maybe there's
hope yet!  (Does anyone know MSG's address so I can send them a thank-you
letter?)
