You've gotta love UNH Hockey right now!


Next-Round Playoffs Commence Tonight:

AHL:

The Chicago Wolves with their two standouts Darren Haydar and Jason Krog will take on the Iowa Stars at home.

USHL:

The Waterloo Blackhawks with their two standouts Blake Kessel and Matt DiGirolamo will take on the Indiana Ice in Indiana.

Updates will be coming tonight.

*We'll start with the USHL and the Waterloo Blackhawks. DiGirolamo did not play but Blake certainly showed up with his game face on. Chalking up 2 assists on the night he did all he could but it was not enough as the Indiana Ice squeaked by 4-3 in this first of the Round Robin, Second Round of the Clark Cup Playoffs.

Now to the AHL where the Chicago Wolves come out of the gate like a rabid wolf! Blanking the Iowa Stars 7-0! Amazingly neither Darren, nor Jason, nor linemate Brett Sterling scored an even strength or powerplay goal tonight and of the three only Jason tallied a point, scoring an empty-net shorthand goal with just under four minutes to play to make it a 6-0 game. Whew! Imagine if they get it fired up!?

Go 'Cats!
