I have had a lot of sucess with River City Sports. They specialize in NHL stuff (they are based in Toronto, I believe) but they will look at a picture and match the lettering pretty close. I had a Montreal jersey customized to Patrick Roy circa 1993. They even put the Stanley Cup patch from that year on for me.
I will go with '97 as well. To go with michigandad, I think that was the year that in a game against Ferris (I think) we went 4 for 4 on our powerplay and scored 2 shorthanded goals on the three Ferris PP's.
Yes, we went 2 for 3 on Ferris' powerplay.
My favorite part of that clip is watching #55 (Dhani Jones?) bury the intended reciever and then use him as a step-stool.
Also, is that Brady Hoke congratulating Woodson on the sideline at the end?
I would assume that Alaska has been in the lower 48 for the past week, having played at Notre Dame last weekend. That is their usual M.O. Fly down for a weekend series, stay down here for a week and play another weekend and then fly home to play one or more series. Minimizes jet-lag, time away from school and flight expenses.
She was representing the 2k turnover in Ireland. She got a little nervous when she realized she would be choosing sides in the whole "Catholic/Protestant" thing they have over there. Thankfully, no one took an issue with her.
I was under the impression that Olympic ice was 200 x 100. (I have never taken out a ruler and measured) NHL is 200 x 85, so the only difference is width.
I think they did it so that the seats will be 7 and a half feet closer to the action
Watch the 1996 Minnesota game where Mike Legg had his most famous goal. There was one point where a Minny player had a wide open net. Marty slid across to make the save out of nowhere (you may say that he shouldn't have been that out of position) The Minny player raises his stick in celebration and then you can see the moment when he realizes Marty robbed him. He is completely deflated. Couldn't find it on youtube, but I have that game on DVD.
As someone who works outside, I agree. wunderground is the site that i turn to when I am looking for a prediction of the weather. I turn to the weather channel when I am looking for radar.
EDIT: Apparently, they are calling it the "Frozen Face-off", not the Little Chill
EDIT #2: Just noticed that they will be having a post-game tailgate at the Pioneer parking lot, featuring Randy's BBQ for only $3. For those not in the know, Randy's started as a roadside BBQ joint with no seating, on US-12, near Michigan International Speedway. It is the real deal and really good. I would swing by, just to get the pulled pork or brisket sandwich.
Here is a picture from last years Wisconsin-Michigan outdoor game at Camp Randell. I believe they have field turf as well. Check out picture 3/16 for a great visual as to how much crown is on the field there. I am assuming that Michigan has pretty much the same set up.
I was able to get a little tour of the press box before the game yesterday and saw the lights (right next to the snipers) They will be mounted on rails so they can be flipped down out of sight when they are not needed. That being said, the actual lights are not there yet, just the frames they will be mounted on.
I have only had the corned beef hash, the bomber omelette or the nature lover's pancakes (pancakes filled with blueberries, raspberries and pecans) but the next time I am there, I may have to try french toast with Capt Crunch...........................
(I say ONLY because I used to live and work in Ypsi and would go to the Bomber about once a month for 8 years or so.............)
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Work comes first............
The newest jersey I have is a white Ryznar. I also have a maize Vancik, white Magnusson, blue O'Malley............. I have a couple more that i can't think of off the top of my head.
I haven't collected any recently, partly due to monetary reasons, partly due to being more officially involved with the team. I can't wear jerseys to the games any more, so I can't justify spend $150 or more for a jersey that will sit in the closet. I also have a LOT of practice jerseys. I usually pick up one a year.
was in Anahiem in 1999. Paul Kariya was playing for the Ducks and Maine, which featured his little brother as the biggest offensive threat, made the field. All we heard from the locals was "which one is Kariya's little brother?"
In 1995-96, the regular season jerseys were made by Cliff Keen and used the dazzle-cloth that this jersey appears to have. Nike made a set (blue, white and maize) that used Air-kint material (little holes in the cloth). Michigan wore the maize jersey in every game during the playoffs. The players kept the maize jersey they wore in the Championship game. The rest of the playoff set was sold to a memarobilia dealer. The regular season set (white, blue and maize) were sold through the U-M hockey auction as desribed in the EBAY listing.
Long story made short, this appears to be a regular-season, game-worn jersey from 1995-96. It does not appear to be the jersey John Madden wore in the Championship game in Cinncinati.
As background, I owned a #4 white (Chris Frescoln) from the playoff set and still own the #29 maize (Greg Malicke.) I have been colecting U-M jerseys and hockey memorabilia since 1994. At one time, I have owned about a dozen different game-worn Michigan hockey jerseys and have 4 NHL game-worn jerseys of former Michigan players (2 Mike Komisarek (Montreal), 1 Cam Stewart (Boston), 1 Aaron Ward (Detroit)) as well as a Team Canada jersey worn by Jason Botterill in the gold-medal game of the World Junior Championship.
Correct me if I am wrong, but don't the OHL teams draft kids, knowing that they have committed to play in the NCAA? To say that they "lost" Montoya and Hensick because these kids made a commitment to Michigan and the Spitfires drafted them anyway, hopeing to lure them away from NCAA and into the OHL is ludicrous. Windsor knows that these guys have said they are going to Michigan or some other college and then they will draft them and try to lure them away. Isn't this what happened to Czarnik? He wasn't getting the playing time at UM and Plymouth told him that Red didn't know what he had and that if he were playing for them, he would have plenty of PT and improve his chances of making the NHL.
Are you saying that if Czarnik had stayed at UM, that Plymouth would have "lost" Robbie to Michigan?
They had Riley Sheahan falling 17 spots. After seeing him skate, despite the fact that he was on a team that wasn't doing much, I would take him at U of M. CSB looked at the stats and dropped him, it is not like he all of a sudden forgot how to skate and score. The team he was on held him back more than anything.
In two years, Sheahan will be at the top of the league in scoring and in three years Merrill will be crushing people. Just wait for him to grow into his 6-3 body. Hopefully he will not just be crushing people in the Tristan Llewellen model.
I am assuming that you are a football season ticket holder. Hockey season ticket holders have until the end of March to order tickets (and also have the opportunity for the prime seats) I got my letter two weeks ago (as a hockey season ticket holder, but not football season ticket holder.)
While Mason was posting wins in college coaching, Red was busy playing in the NHL, coaching in the NHL and winning an NHL Coach of the Year award. Then he came to Michigan.

Nobody on the field but teams, league and school offcials and a few photographers. No seats, just fake grass

MMBand will be there. Also, about 50 memebers of the "Spartan Brass." Way to go all out, Sparty
The banner will be there, over the tunnel. Also, rumor has it that the drum major will do his back bend on the ice (sans ice skates)
Posted this in another thread but thought it might go here as well. Here is a similar jersey to the ones they were wearing on the ice.

They sell them at the end of the season at the equipment garage sale. Sometime in mid-April.

It could be done, just need the right people taking care of the field.
