Spring training is in full swing, and in two weeks we will begin our regular season! This is the time of year where Twins fans like me can forget about that dreadful 99-loss season a year ago and focus on what we can do to win the American League Central Division. It was a long…
Congratulations to the Concordia Women’s Hockey team for making it all the way to the NCAA Quarterfinals. Despite their 5-2 loss to #1 ranked RIT women’s hockey team, “the head coach Brett Bruininks thought his team played well…,” according to gocobberblog. “The Concordia women finished with a 15-6-5- record.
