This is what happens when you compare other major division I sports to division I college hockey. College Hockey is a different animal.The nice thing about college hockey is that the small schools can compete against the bigger schools. There's a level playing field, at least in theory. You can see the whole thing by reading the twitter feed of coach Joe Kitell.

@KNOXRadioRyan @mkarlgaard @Kraft23 there is 59 NCAA Hockey Programs D3-D1-915 NCAA Basketball D3-D1-are you really comparing UCONN to Union

@KNOXRadioRyan @mkarlgaard @Kraft23 Minnesota didnt win! UCONN Did! D3 School would NEVER make it that far in the NCAA Basketball Tournament

Minnesota State of Hockey, aka Josh Hewitt, had a funny tweet in his twitter feed tonight. It's from a Notre Dame fan. I thought I would share it with you because it's friggen hilarious. Enjoy, sometimes you just need a good laugh... Right?

(Video) Seth Helgeson vs Anders Lee

A couple of ex-college hockey players from Minnesota beating each other up. Former Minnesota Golden Gophers Seth Helgeson versus former Notre Dame Fighting Irish Anders Lee. Definitely not a staged fight.

ND and Miami Scrum at the end of the game

Here was the end of the first game of the Hockey City Classic. I watched this scrum numerous times on my television, and it looks like, Notre Dame forward Jeff Costello spears some random Miami RedHawk at the end of the game. There were no penalties called on the play. It will be interesting to see if the CCHA officials review the video from the end of the game, to see if there is anything else that warrants additional supplemental discipline.

Mike Voran hit from behind on Taylor Richart

Watch this hit by Notre Dame forward Mike Voran as he hits Miami defensman Taylor Richart from behind.  This hit is unacceptable and you have to applaud the on ice official for giving Voran a five minute major and a game disqualification.

It would also be disappointing, to be thrown out of such an awesome, high profile event such as the Hockey City Classic for a needless, unnecessary and illegal hit from behind.

There is no way that you can defend this hit. If you watch the video you will see that Richart hit Voran earlier in the shift, but still, there is no reason for Voran to hit Richart while his back is turned to the play.

These are these are the types of hits that the powers that be are trying to eliminate from college hockey. I would be happy if we eliminated them from all levels of hockey.
