BLUES’ GIFTS TO BERENSON
When Michigan hockey head coach Red Berenson scored six goals in one game on November 7, 1968, what did the St. Louis Blues owners reward him with? According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
… ownership presented the outdoor enthusiast with a new station wagon, a canoe attached to the top and a Browning 20-gauge shotgun inside.
Berenson, who had played previously in Montreal and New York, commented: “In New York or Montreal, all you’d get would be a handshake.”
I think there’s a great Photoshop opportunity involving Red, a station wagon, canoe, and shotgun if anyone is up to the challenge.

KILE, GAMBLERS GO FOR USHL TITLE
Michigan recruit Alex Kile is the lone commit still in action and this Saturday night he and the Green Bay Gamblers will face off against Waterloo in Game 1 of the USHL Clark Cup Final. The championship is decided in a best of five series.
Kile has seen action in all seven post-season games and has three goals and two assists along with a +5 rating. His five playoff points is tied for sixth on the Gamblers.
The Gamblers finished the regular season with the USHL’s top record at 47-9-4 to earn the Anderson Cup. After a first round bye, they dispatched Youngstown 3-1 in a best of five series, then swept Indiana in three games. This is their third consecutive appearance in the Clark Cup Final. Green Bay took the regular season series over Waterloo, 3-1, though the Black Hawks won their last meeting, 5-3, on April 7 in Green Bay.
TROUBA AFFIRMS DECISION
Highly touted defensive commitment Jacob Trouba was a guest on NHL Live a few days ago. You can watch the whole interview below.
During the interview he was asked about his commitment to Michigan and whether he’s still planning on heading to Ann Arbor or going to look at his options. Trouba without hesitation said, “I’m committed to college and that’s where I’m going.” He added that he’s not going to go back on his commitment because that’s not how he was raised and not the right thing to do. Gotta love it!
The University of Michigan hockey team is trying to become the University of Oregon football team of the college hockey world as they released five jersey designs for the 2012-13 season. Let us now look at Jersey Monstrosity: 2012 Edition.
The home jersey that sparked JERSEY OUTRAGE!!!!! last season due to the goofy gimmicky use of the block ‘M’ in Michigan naturally stays the same, of course! I hated this jersey design then and I still hate it now. Get rid of the block ‘M’ in Michigan, please!
But wait, there’s more. Presenting the new road jerseys…
