Sorry to offend you there mnhockfan23, but there are a lot of former Minnesota players in this league. Figured there might be a few high school fans out there that may want to get out and watch some more hockey. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Tickets are $45 for all five games or $12 per game. <p>BSU BEAVERS<br><br>Visit <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thebeaverpond.com">"The BeaverPond"</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, the unofficial home of Bemidji State Hockey</p><i></i>

Here is this week's press release from the CHA, in case anyone is interested in knowing a little more about our conference.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.collegehockeyamerica.com/PDF ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p>BSU BEAVERS<br><br>Visit <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thebeaverpond.com">"The BeaverPond"</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, the unofficial home of Bemidji State Hockey</p><i></i>

I am rooting for the underdog who protects are nation, go Air Force Academy Falcons. Plenty of Minnesotan's on that roster to root for. <p></p><i></i>

BSU losing Murray to an injury has to hurt their chances.<br>Does Serratore have a ringer to throw in the line up to replace the future NHLer? <p></p><i></i>

BSU played with out Murray against North Dakota this year and left the Ralph with a 3-3 tie and a 3-1 (empty netter) loss. They have depth at forward and Ryan Miller from Fergus is back. He was out of the UND series also. There are quite a few options for Serratore to throw into the first line, it is just a matter of which one he choses. Holman, Miller, Bluhm would all fit nicely. It will be interesting to see. <p>BSU BEAVERS<br><br>Visit <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thebeaverpond.com">"The BeaverPond"</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, the unofficial home of Bemidji State Hockey</p><i></i>

I hope so. We do not want a repeat of last year... so close. <p></p><i></i>

The last two years elliot..... Two years ago, we weren't suppose to be there though, but knocked off UAH. Last year was a heart breaker.... Great games, but very draining as a fan. One can only yell and cheer so much.<br><br>Is it Friday yet. I am really looking forward to this weekend! The voice is primed and ready to go. <p>BSU BEAVERS<br><br>Visit <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thebeaverpond.com">"The BeaverPond"</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, the unofficial home of Bemidji State Hockey</p><i></i>

The tourney should be great. I hope The Air Force Academy Falcons can pull an upset or two. CHA Student-Athlete of the Year - •Andrew Murray, Bemidji State. Good for him, but they should always give this to an Air Force player, the academics their are near the top of the nation and superior to others in the CHA. <p></p><i></i>

Today's schedule in Grand Rapids.<br><br>At 3:30, Alabama Huntsville will play Niagara. Niagara defeated Robert Morris 5-1 yesterday.<br><br>At 7:30, Bemidji State will play Air Force. Air Force defeated Wayne State 4-3 in OT. The game winner was scored with less than a minute left in OT.<br><br>Come on out to the games if you can!!! The two winners will play tomorrow night at 7:00. <p></p><i></i>

BSU Beavers up 5 to 0 in second period.<br><br>BEAVERS WIN!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><br>Face Alabama - Huntsville tomorrow. Winner advances to the NCAA.<br><br>If you are anywhere close to Grand Rapids - stop in for a heck of a college hockey game - lots a tradition between these two teams. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p074.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... liott70</A> at: 3/12/05 11:46 pm<br></i>

You are correct elliot, these two teams have a lot of history with each other going back to the D-II days of the 1990s. BSU won the titles in 93, 94, 95 and 97, UAH in 96 and 98. <br><br>These two teams HATE EACH OTHER. There will be a lot of hitting and some chipiness. If you are near Rapids, come on out to the game. Tickets for the game are on sale at the IRA Arena starting at noon today.<br><br>GO GREEN!!! <p></p><i></i>

An article from today's Bemidji Pioneer.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/Main.asp? ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

3rd period<br>about 6 minutes to go<br>I have had the game on for about 5 minutes and they have not given the score - but based on what they are saying Beavers are ahead. <p></p><i></i>

Last I saw it was 2-0 BSU ahead with 7:49 to go in the game.<br><br>Lee <p>____________<br>Message Board arsonist since 2005</p><i></i>
