Woof...

Man I wish AIC would make the tourney.

That is some turnaround for them. I haven't paid attention but they looked like crap early in the season. Need to look at their story as the season progressed.

That program has been crap since it's inception. They didn't even have a "home rink" for years. They used to play in a shitty old ass arena, that was in a state park, that you had to pay to get into the park, just to sit there and watch the game with 40-50 other people. Now they are playing a pro rink in the city and are damn near the tournament. Eric Lang is a saint for being able to convince USHL players to commit to that dump of a campus/city. They used to rely on D3 junior retreads for a decade.

LOL.

In 1998 the MAAC began sponsoring an ice hockey conference and AIC joined as an affiliate member, returning to the top tier of college hockey.[7] In their first year back the Yellow Jackets posted a decent record, finishing 5th in the 8-team field but bowed out in the first round of the conference playoffs. After that brief glimpse of success, however, AIC fell to the bottom of the conference and remained there for almost the next 20 years. Even with several new teams joining the conference and the division's reworking into Atlantic Hockey AIC could finish no better than 9th from 2000 through 2017 with the lone exception coming in 2006 when Atlantic Hockey had only 8 league members.

AIC made the conference tournament every years because Atlantic Hockey structured its conference tournament to include every team, but even then the Yellow Jackets could only twice win the 9 vs 8 play-in game and lost every other round it participated in. AIC lost 20 games for thirteen consecutive seasons and 18 out of 19 years after 1999 but through it all Gary Wright stayed on to hold the program together. He eventually retired in 2016, being the longest-tenured coach at the time of his retirement and held the record for the most career losses with a single program, but his legacy with AIC went beyond wins and losses.[8]

OSU drops after getting swept by Minny. ASU close to cracking the top 10, and best hockey team in Arizona status.

Last game of the regular season for QU. Been a great season so far and hopefully a good run in the NCAA's. #beatyale

Senior night at OSU today. Hopefully they can close out strong, heading into the B1G tournament.

If they can win their first round (I'll be out of town), I'll be getting tickets.

Looks like OSU is probably playing either PSU or Wisconsin.

michigan could win, but Minnesota is playing tough lately. Gonna get tickets if OSU can advance.

Badgers were poised to be the 6th seed going into the weekend, but managed to beat the Wolverines on home ice both Friday and Saturday to slide into the 5th seed. I was at the Kohl Center for Friday's game. Great game & lots of fun!

Notre Dame, Minnesota, and Penn State advance in the B1G tournament.

OSU-PSU and Notre Dame-Minny next weekend.
