2005 Mantaray NCAA Ice Hockey Challenge
My friends and fellow warrior-brethren:
Not having any NHL hockey is most depressing.
I miss the sparring, cajoling and the other passions that our game evokes. In so, I open a challenge among my fellow hockey enthusiasts.
The First Annual Mantaray/HTR NCAA Hockey Challenge:
The NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Championship starts this Friday, March 25th.
There are 16 teams from across the USA.
Do your homework, look at your favorite teams college draft choices and pick your teams.
Below is the link to the NCAA Ice Hockey tournment.
We will do this on a point system:
Correct picks in the first round: 1 point each team
Correct picks in the second round 2 points each
Correct picks in Semifinals: 3 points each team
Correct Champion pick: 5 points.
May the best forum member win!!!

Go Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
booty…you have UNH beating Harvard and then denver beating harvard
my guess is that you have the pioneers beating the wild cats?
TJ Hensick and Jeff Tambellini will distrupt your upset special.
You killed my father…
Your fathers almamater is Wisconsin???
The Team mascott is a Badger and this Badger has a first name do you know it?? Hint you were close with Booty Badger.
you have killed my father. prepare to die.
cause the goalie’s name is montoya?
I hear the Badgers goalie is outstanding.
Oh yea and the mascott is called Bucky Badger for those who didn’t know. insert 2 e’s and Bucky becomes Buckeye.LOL
I didn’t say I was picking them, I was saying they were the best states for hockey.
Sorry for the mix-up, I meant Denver over UNH.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I hope this will not affect my score.
“Booty’s Badgers?”
I think I saw a movie by that title. As I recall, it had excellent production values and first-rate cinematography.
“Until then, sleep well and dream of large women.”
Bernd Bruckler:
6’1″, 180 lbs, from Graz, Austria. Heavily recruited by many upper-echelon NCAA hockey programs. Played in his home town as well as the USHL’s Tri-City Storm before enrolling at UW
5th Round selection (150th overall) of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2001 Entry Draft.
Posted a record of 17-11-3 this season, with a 2.35 GAA, 3 shutouts, and a save percentage of .916. Last season: 19-10-8, 4 SO, 2.09 GAA, .924 Sv pct.
Stand-up/butterfly hybrid style. Quick reflexes and good skating ability. His goaltending coach has taught Curtis Joseph, Mike Richter, and Jim Carrey.
