You Can’t Win Unless You Play!

 

Quinnipiac junior forward Ethan de Jong, of North Vancouver, B.C., is tied for first on his team in goals scored, with fourteen, and is third on the team in assists, with fifteen. As a sophomore, the 5' 11" 180 lb forward tied for fourth on the team in goals, with seven, and tied for sixth in assists, with eleven; as a freshman, he was sixth on the team in goals, with ten, and was eighth on the team in assists, with fifteen. I assume North Vancouver is just North of Vancouver, B.C.; if you find otherwise, let me know. Quinnipiac University, 17-7-4, and ranked #11, will face #5 Mankato State on Saturday, March 27th, at

Note:  Finding these sweatshirts can be difficult, and the best source is actually at the Frozen Four; please let me know if you, or anyone you know, will be attending in Pittsburgh.

Now, Mike Michela, the 2019 pool winner, only received his trophy sweatshirt last night — it took me a long time to find a place that would screen just one single sweatshirt for our CHU Pool Winner logo on the back (these places tend to go out of business), and by the time I found one last year, it went into lockdown because of the virus!  Anyway, last night was quite a presentation ceremony at the Michela’s.  His dad took the extra step to be sure champagne was on hand, and Mom and Dad shed a few tears as Mike slipped on the oh-so-coveted sweatshirt trophy.  Below Mike is showing off the front, with the four different team logos from the last Frozen Four that was played, in 2019:

You know you do.  I know you do.  Everyone knows you do.  The only way to get one is to enter our pool.  Oh, and win it, which isn’t easy.  Mike had entered many times, had been in at least two close calls, and at last came out the winner.  How do you enter?  See last night’s post, and consult the bracket in the email sent to you last night.  And the final words of wisdom from Mike Michela on the subject?  “You Can’t Win Unless You Play!”

At the time of this posting we have received 17 entries since we sent out the brackets 20 hours ago!  Deadline ends in 29 hours from the time of this posting!

That’s all for now.  Stay tuned, and go Terriers!
