With the games of the XXIII Olympiad underway in Pyeongchang, South Korea, my sleep schedule — or what is left of it after a month and a half of leaving schoolwork to the last possible second time and time again — is completely shot. The 6:10 a.m. start times have killed me, and I am…
Dear Five-Time Super Bowl Champions, Congratulations, you did it. You finally did it. Some of you literally didn’t know what losing in the playoffs felt like until Sunday, but boy, do you know it now. I will be honest, I thought you had it in the bag with Tom Brady coming out for the two-minute…
I don’t know if you’ve already heard, but the Vikings will not be playing in the Super Bowl. Instead, two of the arguably worst fanbases in the NFL will be invading Minneapolis. While Eagles fans will be primarily focused on how to smuggle their D batteries into the stadium, Vikings fans will have to decide…
When Chris Howe took over the men’s hockey head coach position in April of 2008, the Concordia hockey program was at a low point. The Cobbers went 1-23-1 in 2007-2008, the year before Howe took over, and 0-15-1 in MIAC play. The one win? A 2-1 victory at UW-Eau Claire in the first game of…

On Friday, Nov. 3, 12 Concordia students piled into one of two vehicles for an eight-hour drive to Milwaukee — but that wasn’t the beginning of their story. Less than a week earlier, Moshe Mukori—a sophomore from Harare, Zimbabwe—got approval from the school to bring his club handball team on the trip to Wisconsin for…
Women Hockey and Halloween go together like ice cream and pumpkin pie? For the first time in five years, Concordia opened its hockey season in the month of October when it hosted Northland College for a weekend series Oct. 27-28. Despite a dominant performance from the Cobbers—led by the top line of Amanda Flemming, Tori…
It snowed last week, so I feel like this is probably a good time to write this. Not only did we get to see snow on the ground—if only momentarily —we also got to see the first Cobber hockey games of the year. Well, a few people did. The combined attendance for the women’s hockey…
Now that the National Hockey League season is officially underway, let’s take a look at the top ten teams vying for the Stanley Cup this year.
