Congrats to the Hamline Pipers and Timmyo for winning the MIAC. It's good to see them have this kind of success. There's a lot of very good former mn H.S. hockey players on that team. Again, nice job!
Still some work to be done

Scott Bell has done a remarkable job with this program. To land players like Buerenguer and Hummel, not to mention the team's overall record, is something. Look for the Pipers to be even better next year.

Goldy only knows the assistant coach but he seems like a good guy.
Congrats Hamline.

Congrats Hamline.
The assistant is a great guy, but Scotty Bell is every bit a stand-up guy as Mr. O. One of them should give me a call one of these days.
Congratulations

Congratulations Coach Bell, Timmyo, and the rest of the Hamline staff and players, on winning the MIAC Championship. Unfortunately, not enough in the tank to beat a real good St Thomas team last night in the tournament championship,....but still a great turn-around season. No seniors on the roster, so looks promising for next year as well.
It was three at the glass last night, so difficult to see much of the game, but was a wonderful playoff hockey atmosphere at the Drake Arena.
It was a good year

Thanks, Knowlzee - it was fun at the Drake last night. St. Thomas is a very nice team, and we gave 'em what we had. Now its off to Alpena to recruit!
