Also Saturday on FSN North is "Hockey Day in Minnesota" which is a really cool concept they started a few years ago. 2 high school outdoor hockey games, the college team and pro team on TV the whole day. And unlike the last few years the weather is actually gonna be nice. Last year there was freezing rain/sleet/snow the whole day and usually its really cold out. But high of 34 or so should make it nice

schedule of games
10:00 Roseau vs Wayzata
1:30 Hill-Murray vs Moorhead
5:00 Denver vs. Minnesota
8:00 St Louis vs Minnesota

Not feeling it this week...nothing really stands out for me. Hopefully next week we'll have some better matchups.

Hockey Day in Minnesota does sound pretty cool though...will have to check that out. Thanks for mentioning it, I would not have known.

eh I'll probably catch the NoDak game and then the Goofers game. Denver and UMD tied for 1st and NoDak a point behind
Sadly UMD is only on local TV (My9) and neither Directv will carry it

Looking forward to HDIM...and Moorhead has the coolest nickname. The Spuds

Liking what I see out of Chris Kreider from BC. He now has a Beanpot MVP, NCAA championship and World Junior championship for Team USA under his belt in the last 12 months. We always knew the kid had serious wheels ever since the Rangers drafted him in the first round in 2009, but now it's looking like he's also turning into a very good hockey player.

Time to move on the the NHL!

List of games for this weekend that are on nationwide TV or at least statewide TV. All times central

Also I like to post a big list of games because I know there are college hockey fans out there who like to watch ANY college game...especially when their team is off/not televised and maybe one of the televised games affects their spot in the standings
Also, I post all the games so folks can make their own decisions on which game to watch. While a few of those games I'll watch for sure since they are WCHA teams who are in a logjam with Minnesota Duluth for top spot, some folks may decide that isnt for them. So I try to post them all, not a couple games that I feel are the only games to see and screw the rest. Thats what makes sports on TV fun. What games I will be watching others may not think those games mean anything to them but maybe they see a different game to watch that I dont feel like watching.

Friday
6:30 Western Michigan at Michigan Comcast Local
6:30 New Hampshire vs Vermont CBS College
7:00 Minnesota vs. Wisconsin Big Ten Network
7:00 Yale vs Quinnipiac CSN New England

7:30 Colorado College vs Bemidji State KAWE/KAWB and the Minnesota channel
8:30 Michigan Tech vs Denver FSN Rockey Mtn
10:00 Nebraska-Omaha vs Alaska Anchorage GCI 1

Saturday

I know the die-hard college hockey fan will watch every second of every game they possibly can, and I respect that. Whatever floats it for ya...everyone is different, and I would never criticize. But for a person like me who also watches other sports and leagues, I like to find what the best matchups are and make sure I check them out.

The only thing that jumps out at me this week is the Saturday game between Western Michigan and Michigan, (7:30 Eastern, 6:30 Central) on Fox Sports Detroit. I'm NOT saying anyone else should screw the rest, they should watch whatever they want. I'm saying what I'M looking forward to.

I know Minnesota/Wisconsin means everything to people in that area, but it's not working for me. Your mileage may vary.

Just another person's opinion...

Nice to see Michigan back on a winning streak...sure hope it continues against Northern Michigan this evening (in Marquette) and into the CCHA Tournament. Also, it's nice to see Norwich (Division III) clinch their 13th straight ECAC East Title with a 4-2 victory over Connecticut College last night.

Anchorage helps out UMD by beating Omaha 3-2 late last night
