I think I mentioned that I moved to Minneapolis from Toronto about a year ago. When I arrived I had plenty of time on my hands. I didn’t have to work, it was cold outside and I didn’t know anyone. Luckily for me, I discovered one of the most exciting hockey tournaments I have ever had the pleasure of watching. The Minnesota State High School Hockey State Tournament.
I’ve been anxiously awaiting this year’s tournament so I thought I’d post the following calendar.
(BTW, I’ve managed to make a few friends since then 
) Which reminds me…we will be playing at the smaller rink at Parade next Monday, Jan 28th, at 9:30pm. I’ll do a more official post tomorrow.
