III national championship—the Frozen Four—over the week- end, which was held at Middlebury (Vt.) College. The Falcons unfortunately ended up placing fourth in the tournament, after a first round loss to Elmira (N.Y.) College and a loss to Middlebury in the second round. But despite the disappointing out- come, the Falcon players, fans and parents repre- sented UWRF admirably. The Falcon players completely decimated the NCHA competition, finishing first in the confer- ence, and advanced to the Frozen Four after being picked as underdogs to win the O’Brien Cup and underdogs against Gustavus Adolphus College in the first round. Even with the losses to Elmira and Middlebury, advancing as far as they did was an outstanding accomplishment that they should be proud of. It was not only the players who made the trip to Vermont, however.

This NHL season has proven to be another good one fol- lowing a great season last team in Frozen Four year. The NHL has made the adjustments that were necessary to draw more fans and make the games Gary more fun. This year’s Klaput Winter Classic game, which featured the Detroit Red Wings visiting the Chicago Blackhawks out- doors at Wrigley Field in Chicago, proved to be the jump that the game needed. It was great being between two of the original six teams and having it played outdoors made it all the better. With the playoffs approaching, fans keep their eyes close on the standings. The top teams in each conference show some new faces and of course some teams who just consis- tently play well year after year. The Detroit Red Wings look to make the playoffs near the top of the NHL for the seventh time in 14 seasons. The San Jose Sharks look to steal first place in the league and gain home ice throughout the playoffs where they have been nearly unbeatable at times this season. In the Eastern Conference, one of the top teams this year is the Boston Bruins, who after finishing in eighth place and grabbing the last spot in the playoffs last year, have been able to come into this season with high motivation and are now looking to gain home ice throughout the Eastern play- offs. New Jersey is once again a familiar face atop the Eastern Conference and looks to gain either first or second this sea- son after having goalie Martin Brodeur gain his 552nd win and become the winningest goalie in NHL history. The bottom of each conference has been a tight race. In the East, Florida, which has struggled of late, looks to make a playoff rush with approximately 10 games left in its sea- son. The Montreal Canadians are trying to not let a hot start go to waste as it tries to make the playoffs in the eighth spot after finishing first in the East last season.
