I had heard rumors about this. He had a great 11 year run and brought the program to the finals- so close to that title. Sad to see him go. Agreed, I hope that they tie the Knott.

Saw a quote somewhere from the Mankato AD that basically made it sound like it is Knott's if he wants it.

MSU-Mankato's Mike Hastings named the new head coach at Wisconsin. Hopefully former Beaver and current MSU-Mankato assistant Todd Knott gets a look at filling the Maverick position.

Most tournaments, I think, the top seed gets the early game so they get the longer rest. With an off day between games though, it isn't as big of a deal.

I remember when they had one game Thursday night, one game Friday night, and the championship game on Saturday. Big advantage if you played on Thursday.

I have no idea how they decide who gets the early and who gets the late game, which draws a bigger audience. Does the top seed get their pick?

Thank you for the schedule. I'm bummed that Alaska Fairbanks didn't get in, but that's life. I hope to watch the Frozen Four and Championship games.

When you have teams basically playing for their post season lives, it brings a whole new level of intensity to the game!

NMU also brought their band and had their own fan section which added another layer. That was an exciting evening!

[Millsy]

I made it to the CCHA championship - the locals might be used to the insanity but this was my first real go-around, maybe except for the MacNaughton Cup game this year.

That was nuts.

I feel bad for Alaska, I was hoping that they would get in.

I think that Michigan got a real break here.
