They are 24-7-6, champions of Hockey East for the first time in 21 years, the #4 ranked team in the country and a No. 1 seed at the dance. So, regardless of what happens tonight, we should clearly be able to say this season has been nothing short of a success, right?

Maine is a basketball state yet its most popular sports team plays hockey. So, which bit of madness are Mainers more fired up for in March?

Over the holidays, I was talking to some relatives about this game and happened to look up ticket prices on the secondary market when one of them said, "oh that would be fun, we should go." I was shocked at what I found.

Ticket TV brought you much of the action throughout September, October, and into Novemeber on the gridiron and the pitch. Before we turn the page from fall to winter, it's time to recognize a few of the excellent performances from local high school athletes.
