Notre Dame "upsets" Ferris to reach the Joe with the top 3 seeds. WMU over Notre Dame in final.

Someone please fill me in to how ND was voted by the coaches to win the league? Looks like a pretty sparse roster to me (other than Tynan). Jackson's had much better ND teams in the past (not last year, though).

Other than Tynan?

Stephen Johns, Anders Lee, and Steven Summerhays (came on strong to end last year) are all stand-out players.

The rest of the line-up is full of solid contributors, kind of what our seniors were.

Jackson recruits well, especially with the ND name. As shown by Miami's high ranking, they look at that really closely.

I don't think they should be above us, but they are a good team that has the potential to beat anyone. They did beat Minnesota, Minnesota-Duluth (defending Natl. Champs), and Boston College (Natl. Champs) last year and played 4 games against those 3 teams total (lost opener against UMD)

1. Michigan
2. WMU
3. Ferris
4. Miami
5. MSU
6. ND-cant stand them
7. Northern
8. Lake Superior
9. BGSU
10. Ohio State
11. Alaska-Fairbanks

COY-Red
Defender-Danny D

BGSU wins a 1st round series
FSU doesn't win a series this year.
WMU losses in the champ game, but wins a 1st round NCAA in GR.
My son gets 4 pucks this season.

You have Miami in there twice and no N.D.

He doesn't like ND, so he put the Miami B team in there.

Doh
