On a brighter note......


Good luck to the Bears at Nationals.  I look for them to make some noise in South Bend.

Considering that some of the teams in the Nationals are pretty bad, the Bears weren't done any favors in the Scheduling.  Can't even pinpoint what team "Canton" is (prep school?)  and then they have to play the #8 ranked team.


Wishing them some puck luck and hoping they make a run at a Banner.

Tough sledding for Bears.  They lost their first 2 games. 

Got outshot by a St. Lawrence Steel team in what on paper looks like a really close game, losing 4-3.  The Steel team, plays in the Ontario Minor Hockey league, but got their bid by winning the New York state 14u state championship.  The Bears then outshot Chesterfield, MO team 31-20 and came out with a 2-5 loss.   

Seems that all 4 teams in the division were top of the Tier2 food chain, but unfortunately for the Bears they didn't get the results they needed to move on.

This really goes to show the effect a draw can have on your chances, not to mention a bit of puck luck.  Gotta wonder about things like seeding, when you have 4 top notch teams in the same division.   Bears outshot the eventual national champions.  Who knows what might have happened if they got another shot at them.
