THIS IS A HOCKEY POST

-RIT unofficially announced Penn State and Michigan will be the next two teams for Brick City(2012 and 2013 respectively). It will be Penn State's first season in DI and I think it's probable that T-Pegs might come, so that's exciting. As for Michigan, I have a soft spot for them(minus their need to play Hail at least 30 times a game-I hope they don't bring the band!). Maybe this means an eventual return trip, and then I'd have an excuse to finally go to the Yost ;) Can we get Miami in 2014?!

-The Canucks are playing split-squad preseason games with Calgary tonight- the more interesting to me is the home game. The first D pairing is going to be Tanev-Ballard(*points to icon*), and Pinizzotto is going to be on the 2nd line. Plus Eddie Lack will be in goal, and I adore him.

-Bieksa is now on Twitter, and it's been amazing thus far. The broing between him and Kesler... Plus teasing Burrows might get one. I can't.

-RIT was picked 1st in the AHA preseason poll. Which isn't surprising, as they've finished first 5 of the 6 years they've been in the conference(though there was only a 1 pt difference between RIT and Air Force). I think RMU got the shaft, and the only reason HC and Uconn are that high is because they made the conference Final Four last year.
