Last night I was able to watch the UW Men's Hockey team win the NCAA championship for the sixth time, defeating Boston College in a closely-contested game. The game was very exciting, and Maryanne commented on how fast of a game hockey is. She also noted her surprise at my interest in the sport.
I've had a bit of an interest in hockey for a while, but beyond cable there's little opportunity to watch televised hockey in Wisconsin. There's no NHL home team, and most hockey fans in the state either come from elsewhere and already have a team they follow, or simply pick a team for one reason or another. I find the game exciting, but haven't really latched on to a pro team yet, though my parents were fans of the Chicago Blackhawks.
In any case, I was glad to see the Badger Men win, since the Badger Women's team won the NCAA championship this year as well. It's been a good year for Wisconsin hockey.

Thanks! :)
