This Saturday, Yale vs Quinnipiac for the U.S. national collegiate
hockey championship. Both teams are "at home" in New Haven County,
which, for the moment, is the U.S. college hockey capitol of the universe!
QU is 3-0 against Yale this year, but I think the Elis may have a few
tricks up their sleeves this time!
Quinnipiac probably isn't a college you've heard of...from Wiki:
Quinnipiac University is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational
university located in Hamden, Connecticut, United States at the foot of
Sleeping Giant State Park. The university grants undergraduate,
graduate, and professional degrees through its College of Arts and
Sciences; School of Business and Engineering; School of Communications;
School of Health Sciences; School of Law; School of Nursing and School
of Education. U.S. News & World Report's 2013 America's Best Colleges
issue has ranked Quinnipiac University first among northern universities
with master's degree programs as having made the most promising and
innovative changes in academics, faculty, campus or facilities.
Quinnipiac is home to the well-known Quinnipiac University Polling
Institute.
University hockey can be exciting, skilled and competitive.
Last month, our local school St Mary's, lost out in the final game of the Canadian University Hockey Championship to rival University of New Brunswick.
The games were played way out in Saskatchewan.
Big hockey excitement around here is our local major Junior team run at the Quecec League championship and then the memorial Cup against top teams from the Ontario and Western Leagues.
BTW.. a player on St Mary's was named MVP for the Canadian University Association and we have a couple players on the Mooseheads who topped the Junior list. Lots of good talent on display.
