RIT-Canisius

[Killer]

Rather not have fighting, and definitely not have shootouts.

Did he at least "save big money"?[/quote]

LOL .
I thought Menard's was a mid-west store; have they expanded to Germany ;-)? Or do you still have the annoying jingle in your head from road trips through the mid-west? ::panic::

Despite the ad jingle, is a nice store; they send you a certificate for a free gift on your birthday and an in-store rebate check.

Atlantic Hockey Hands Out Discipline, Suspensions (UPDATED)
Hudson, Walton Gone For Regular Season

HAVERHILL, Mass. (Feb. 14) — Atlantic Hockey on Wednesday assessed additional penalties and suspensions to four players from each team after a brawl between Canisius and RIT on Saturday, February 9. The penalties include regular-season suspensions for RIT's Ricky Walton and Canisius' Carl Hudson.

Atlantic Hockey commissioner Bob DeGregorio and Gene Binda, supervisor of officials, have reviewed the tapes from the game, according to the league. DeGregorio assessed the additional penalties under the league's policy on Supplemental Discipline.

The two teams combined for a total of 251 minutes in penalties, which included misconduct penalties, fighting majors and disqualifications. Amateur video and photographs and an edited Canisius team video circulated widely on the internet in the aftermath of the event.

"Atlantic Hockey, the NCAA and the culture of collegiate hockey will not allow or condone fighting," said DeGregorio. "This was not representative of the student-athlete experience that Atlantic Hockey and its members are striving to achieve."

Additional games have been issued to Phil Rauch, Taylor Anderson, Jason Weeks and Hudson of Canisius and Tyler Mazzei, Louis Menard, Stephen Burns and Walton of RIT. Although the league declined to state the amount of games Hudson and Walton were suspended in its press release, USCHO learned on Thursday that Hudson and Walton will be suspended for the remainder of the regular season.

Canisius supports the decision by the league, while RIT is appealing the ruling.

Brawlers give the sport a bad name and most of them need skating lessons.

[quote scoop85]I saw Canisius play Army, and I'm not surprised they got involved in some goonery.

BTW, Army has a pretty darn good team.  I wouldn't be shocked to see them win the AH tournament and give some top team a scare.[/quote]
The 2-1 game at Army?  I saw that game, brought my kids.  Great game, great atmosphere, but the thing I noticed versus other NCAA leagues is that the passing wasn't very sharp.  Very few high quality scoring chances despite a lot of shots.  Overall though it's the closest NCAA hockey to NYC and a nice atmosphere so well worth the trip.  Easy in and out.

Yes, that was the same game (I live about 25 minutes from West Point).  I agree the passing wasn't all that crisp, but frankly I have not been wowed by the passing I have seen in the ECAC this year either.  Over the holidays, Army apparently dominated Union in every respect except for the final score. I think Army, like most of Atlantic Hockey, has elevated to a level much closer to the ECAC and the other conferences.
