In just over an hour, some of the finest ice hockey action you can ever see will begin. That’s right, I’m talking about the NCAA Frozen Four. If it weren’t for some important events taking place in Cincinnati this weekend, I would be in attendance for these tournament ending three games, just as I did last year. Fortunately both games tonight are on ESPN2 and the championship is on ESPN Saturday, 7pm EDT.
Competing for this years championship are Miami Ohio and Bemidji State, who play in this first game, along with Vermont and Boston, who will play later tonight. I am definitely pulling for the boys up the road, Miami, and in the other game I have to do with Vermont. I remember sporting a Vermont hockey hat throughout high school, after watching them play at the first Frozen Four I attended back in ’96. Ultimately I hope that Miami is able to win the entire thing.
