    Notre Dame is hosting the midwest regional tournament, which is being played in Fort Wayne. The participants are:

    1) Miami vs (4) Alabama-Huntsville

    (2) Bemidji State vs (3) Michigan

    While I'm not an avid college hockey fan, I know from past conversations here that these are four of the best programs in the country. Unfortunately, I have plans to be out of town and will miss the games. It will be good for Fort Wayne though. The site, Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, is an excellent venue for hockey.

    Once the Irish Hockey Arena is finished they'll be able to host on campus I would think, but maybe not. I think it's not going to be huge seating wise, but I forget how big. How big is the Ft. Wayne facility?

    10,000 capacity. I could be wrong, but I think the capacity of ND's facility will be 5,000.

    I see that Wisconsin lost in the Final to B.C. for the NCAA Hockey title.

    Interesting group in the Frozen Four. Miami of Ohio, who'd have thunk the Redhawks would be a college power and freakin' Rochester Institute of Technology...what the hell?
