Don Cherry uninformed when it comes to college hockey
This is a really good read. I know you're going to be shocked by this news. Apparently, xenophobe Don Cherry of the Coaches Corner stepped on it again this week blasting US division I college hockey. Cherry is not a fan of an ex-college hockey player taking the ice over a player that played in the Canadian Hockey League. This article kind of piggy backs on this subject. See tweets below.
Stephen Whyno, The Canadian Press – "I think that if more Canadian families were exposed to what college can do -- as parents for your kid socially, athletically and academically ... I think more people would be doing it," said University of Denver coach Jim Montgomery, a Montreal native who went to Maine and ended up playing 122 NHL games.Here's are the tweets in question from Don Cherry. I must say that Cherry is clueless when it comes to college hockey. Also, historically, the Toronto Marlies have had a fair number of college hockey players on their roster. Two years ago, when the Marlies made a run in the playoffs they had many ex-college hockey players, making a huge contribution for the Marlies on the ice. This season, if my math is correct, the Marlies have three players with college hockey experience.
One opportunity for exposure is the NCAA tournament, which begins Friday and includes 109 Canadian players. There are 35 players from Ontario, 35 from British Columbia, 18 from Alberta and seven each from Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Many of those players are trying to follow in the footsteps of several successful Canadian NHLers who went to college, including four members of the gold-medal-winning Sochi Olympic team: Jonathan Toews (North Dakota), Martin St. Louis (Vermont), Patrick Sharp (Vermont) and Chris Kunitz (Ferris State).
Among the 945 players to see NHL action this season, 100 were Canadians who played at a U.S. college.
Naturally, many went the more traditional road, through the QMJHL, OHL or WHL. But the NCAA is slowly becoming another acceptable way to get there.

College Hockey: Monday Pontifications (Links)
Well the NCHC is probably excited that at least one of their top
seeds made the Frozen Face-off. UND is the highest seed to make it to the Target
Center. We have the 1, 5, 6, 8 seeds advancing to the NCHC's Frozen Face-off. C.C. UMD, UNO and SCSU will be staying home this season. No schools from Minnesota will be in the Frozen Face-off this season. I am not sure this is what the founding member schools of the NCHC envisioned when they formed the league.
According
to Brad Schlossman, he thinks that UND might still need to win the
Frozen Face-off to make the NCAA tourney. I guess we're soon going to find out. UND
just needs to keep winning or their season is going to be over anyways. The
time for talking is over, it time for UND to make hay.
Jeff
Cox from College Hockey SBN has
UND going to Cincinnati. I think that many UND fans would take that
bracket.
The Brackets are set for the Inaugural B1G tourney and the Big
Ten (-4) Hockey Tourney starts on Thursday. Penn State will try to beat Michigan for
a third time this season. But I don’t think that happens a third time, the Wolverines are going to be ready this time.

Weekend Match-Ups, 1st Round NCHC games (by Donn)
Here we are the regular season has come to an
end in the inaugural NCHC season. The
race for the Penrose Cup is over with SCSU claiming the first ever NCHC regular
season title. Now we are at the first
round of playoffs, so let’s get it started in here.

NCHC
1st Round Playoff Series
#21 Western
Michigan @ #18 Minnesota-Duluth
Last weekend the Broncos split with NoDak (2-0L,
2-1W) in Grand Forks and the Bulldogs split with UNO (8-2W, 4-1L) in Duluth.
Season series – UMD wins 3-1-0 – split in
Duluth swept in Kalamazoo
Well with the teams tying in the standing, with
identical records too, it make sense to predict a three game series. These teams are evenly matched on paper, and
similar on the ice. I’m giving my nod to the home team. BULLDOGS IN 3
#27 Denver
@ #26 Nebraska-Omaha (Thurs/Fri/Sun)
Last weekend the Pioneers split with the RedHawks
(5-2W, 2-1L) in Denver and the Mavericks split with the Bulldogs (8-2L, 4-1W)
in Duluth.
Season series – UNO wins 3-1-0 – swept in Denver
and split in Omaha
This is short week for both teams with the
series starting on Thursday. DU was one
win away from hosting a first round game, but could pull it off on Saturday
night. Can the Pioneers put last weekend
behind them and focus on the Mavericks? The
Pioneers are 6-6-5 on the road, doesn’t get much more even than that, the
Mavericks are 9-9-0 at home and 7-7-2 on the road… someone is going to end up
with a losing there five hundred record.
MAVERICKS IN 3
#40 Miami
@ #5 SCSU
Last weekend the RedHawks split with the
Pioneers (5-2L, 2-1W) in Denver and the Huskies split swept CC (7-4, 4-1) in Colorado
Springs.
Season series – tied 2-2-0 – splits in both
Oxford and St. Cloud
The RedHawks started the season the number one
team in land, now they are 40th in the pairwise rankings, and the Huskies
are 5th in the PWR. The Huskies
have only 8 loses all season, 6 in the NCHC and 2 are to Miami. I think the Huskies will be ready when MU
comes calling this weekend, but it wouldn’t surprise me if MU forced a three
game series. HUSKIES IN 2
#51 Colorado
College @ #10 North Dakota
Last weekend NoDak split with the Broncos (2-0W,
2-1L) in Grand Forks and the Tigers were swept by SCSU (7-4, 4-1) in Colorado Springs.
Season series – UND wins 2-0-0 – UND swept in Grand
Forks
The Tigers have been abysmal on the road this
season, going 1-13-2 away from Colorado Springs. CC is currently on a four game skid, after
winning the previous three, they have given up 19 goals in those last four
loses. Look for UND to bring the
pressure and score early and often, to keep the Tigers in their cage, so to
speak. NODAK IN 2

Miami vs. SCSU; so you say there's a chance? Not hardly...
Immediately after SCSU won the Penrose Trophy, my twitter feed had a few tweets from fellow UND fans saying SCSU is going to get beat by Miami.
Personally, I don’t see it happening. There’s a reason they only won 12 games this season, they're not very good. No offense to Miami, this season has been a train wreck. Breaking it down even further, I don't see the RedHawks beating SCSU again this season. Miami is 3-12-1 since January 10, 2014.

Mick Hatten, Saint Cloud Times -- On Feb. 21-22, the RedHawks beat the Huskies 4-3 in the first game before St. Cloud State earned the split with a 3-0 win in Ohio.Since returning from injury on February 21, 2014, Miami junior forward Blake Coleman is smoking hot. In the last six games, Blake Coleman has scored (8g-0a—8tps). Last weekend, the Plano, Texas product scored (4g-0a-4—pts) against the Denver Pioneers. Coleman scored both of Miami’s goals as the RedHawks beat the University of Denver 2-1.
“They’re a really good team, well-coached,” Huskies co-captain Nic Dowd said. “They beat us two games (this season) and they know what they have to do to get back to where they want to be.”
(snip)
In the four games against St. Cloud State, sophomore Sean Kuraly and junior Austin Czarnik had one goal and two assists apiece, Riley Barber had a goal and an assist and junior Blake Coleman had two goals for the RedHawks.)
Sophomore goalies Ryan McKay and Jay Williams split the four games against St. Cloud State. McKay earned the split at the Brooks Center, stopping 64 of 66 shots (.969 save percentage) and had a shutout in the series. McKay played both games over the weekend at Denver. Williams earned the split in Ohio, stopping 50 of 56 shots (.893).
For St. Cloud State, David Morley had two goals, Jimmy Murray had a goal and two assists and Jonny Brodzinski had a goal and three assists against the RedHawks.
