The WCHA Blog takes a look at the Tigers from last season to now and has the same lingering question that many of us do, who will be the goaltender and will they be able to replace the past 2?

You know what "playing up" means with regard to a Division III school playing Division I hockey and how that almost changed forever 4 years ago.
So I was at Panera Bread this weekend and picked up the little pamphlet schedule for the Tigers for portable reference. While eating, my dad pointed out that one of the sponsors is Fittje Brothers Printing Company, who proudly printed the schedule. Big deal right? Well, the Wells Fargo ad on the back features text with a strange halo around the letters a la a misaligned printer (not unlike many Gazette editions featuring an almost 3D look when the ink has gone nuts). Funny, ironic and another example being extremely careful and proofing everything that you do.
On another note, I will be doing an entry once a week entitled "You know your a CC Tiger Hockey fan when..." feature 10 of the features that distinguish us Tiger fans. If there are any ideas, feel free to let me know as I begin to roll it em out.

You can tell the season is near when traffic online about the Tigers and college hockey starts to pick up. Today, the Gazette featured an article about former Tiger Brandon Straub’s battle to gain a roster spot with the Avalanche at rookie camp and some notes about the first captains practice of the season. One thing that I am surprised about is the source of the last 2 links. It appears Kate Crandall from the Gazette is starting with a solid effort for the season. I'm assuming that she has some privileges in terms of access to the team and practices that most of us non-press don't have. Fine by me, if she reports it I'll find it and post it up on here. I would definitely advise you to check out some of her older posts that have snuck by my alerts the last few weeks. Another sweet entry that I found was one that ranked the cities of the WCHA. C-Springs falls in 3rd place and has a pretty good article about our city and fans. Some things that the visitor found pleasantly surprised me so take a look! It appears I need to do some serious updating of my links section with all these new blogs popping up. I'm out of town on business this week followed by spending next weekend in Lincoln for the Huskers versus USC game. Enjoy the new articles and I will be back in full force in a week!
Anyone else get a certain sense of satisfaction watching the Michigan football team plod along and get pounded at home?!!
