Minnesota State and the three other teams in the Frozen Four practiced and had their press conferences in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and everyone's still holding their breath on COVID protocols, especially after UMass lost four players for its semifinal game, including its No. 1 goaltender and leading scorer, due to contract tracing.
There's a lot of excitement, though, especially around Mankato and the Mavericks program where alumni and, yes, the old founder, Don Brose, are all but declaring Thursday a local holiday.
(This just in ... they are declaring it a holiday, of sorts, in Mankato and North Mankato!)
Great to see that Brosey is making his way to Pittsburgh to see this.
The coverage is coming fast and furious, and as much as it's killing this former beat writer not to be in Pittsburgh right now, I did get to contribute to another college hockey broadcast. And, of course, there are a lot of good people there doing good work. Check out College Hockey News and USCHO, in addition to your local papers.
