Axtell to Defect?

Earlier this year, it was reported that Phil Axtell had been dismissed from the hockey Huskies for "repeated violations of team policy".

Now, Heisenberg is reporting on his recruitment website that Axtell is transferring to - you guessed it - eNeMa U.

Phil wouldn't be eligible to play with the Mildkittens until Sept. 2008, but this is interesting gossip nonetheless.

Memories...

First, I would like to thank Chris at the Western College Hockey blog for mentioning this blog in a recent post.

Second, there's another new blog out there that's going to be covering the world of college hockey at large. It's called "The College Hockey (& Other Stuff) Blog", and you can find it near the top of my links to the right of this post.

Third, like some of us have been doing in the Tech thread on USCHO, I thought I'd share a few memories from 06-07 - my first full year of following Tech hockey. Some (read: 'all') of the photos are nipped from MEg's Tech blog, but my camera sucks and I'm behind the net playing with the band anyway, so I have an excuse for not having pics of my own to share this season. Other than that, I can assure you that I was at these games and I will remember them fondly...

Final score - MTU 9, UAA 0. Teslak's first shutout of the season, Rouleau's first career hat-trick.








Someone at the Joe forgot to reset the score from the State-Haahvaad game, resulting in several minutes of entertainment. Too bad it didn't actually happen.
