Hockey?

Yes, indeedy, there is hockey in the desert. We are going to a Coachella Firebirds game this week. But this past Saturday, we went to "The Cactus Cup", which was a 4-game college tournament. We saw Yale play the University of Minnesota at Mankato.

Mankato is where Ed's step-dad, Donald, was the Athletic Director for years. In fact, he got Mankato, which was Division 3, bumped up to Division 1 Hockey. So we had to go root them on.

It was fun. But Mankato / Yale was the consolation game, so it wasn't very crowded. And Mankato won, 5-3.
