Axtell Axed?

The rumor on the street is that freshman forward Phil Axtell has been dismissed from the hockey Huskies for "repeated violations of team rules". No specifics have been gleaned and there has not yet been an official announcement.

Truthfully, I was a bit unimpressed with Axtell's play. 10 pts. is decent for a freshman campaign, but I felt he should have been throwing his massive physical size around a lot more. He was also forced to sit out all of the WCHA playoff games against CC and the F5 game against Bucky for poor grades, so something tells me the issue is likely academic.

If this turns out to be true, then I wish Phil the best of luck in any future endeavors.
