March Madness

Forget the NCAA in basketball, Maine celebrates its own brand of March Madness. The University of Maine's hockey team made it to the final four of NCAA hockey called "The Frozen Four".

Renys, a.k.a. "Your Maine Department Store" is celebrating the beginning of mud season by having March Mudness Sales. (More about mud season in a future posting.)

Gotta love it.

Here's the scoop on the hockey (from the University's sports' website http://goblackbears.cstv.com/):

Maine Advances To NCAA Frozen Four
The University of Maine men's ice hockey team defeated Massachusetts 3-1 in the finals of the NCAA East Regional on Saturday at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y. Maine had a goal by Bret Tyler and power play goals by Mike Hamilton and Matt Duffy in the win, while Ben Bishop had 35 saves. The Black Bears are now 23-14-2 overall while Massachusetts is 21-13-5 overall. Maine advances to the NCAA Frozen Four for the fourth time in the last six years.
