Eight years running, this one was no different. We packed our bags for the good ol' Motor City! The Frozen Four was held in Ford Field, the stadium that the Lions call home. This was a first for NCAA hockey. The semis featured Cinderella story RIT versus Wisconsin, and Boston College against the #1 seed, Miami (Ohio). Both games were bizarre: scores of 8-1 and 7-1, respectively. We couldn't complain though - BC looked fast and we were hopeful that the rematch of BC vs. Wisconsin of two years prior would end more favorably (in 2008, BC lost a nail-biter to Wisconsin in Milwaukee, 2-1). Saturday's finale was indeed sweet redemption, with another rout, 5-0 BC!
Overall, the trip was a good one. We caught up with the Zappa brothers, visited with Jess' grad school friend Carolyn and her family, and saw some of Detroit. Since there wasn't a whole lot of tourism to take in, we took it easy and it felt a little like a vacation. The defining moment of the trip: Jess and CZ having chili, cheese dogs for breakfast on Saturday!
