Well day one is in the books at the 2007 CIS women's hockey championship. It was a day of highs and lows. Here's how I saw it.
HOT: Blogs
Not only has the SSN Canada blog been racking up the hits, we were lucky to have resident Ottawa sports blogger Neate Sager on the webcast tonight. Saeger writes a blog called Out of Left Field, which is a great source for folks looking for information on the university sports scene. Neate joined host Dan Blouin in studio during the second intermission of the Ottawa vs. Laurier contest.
NOT: Underdogs
Both higher seeded teams won on Friday as even the hometown Gee-Gees could not translate the home-ice advantage into a victory. All in all the lower seeded teams could only muster one goal, courtesy Manitoba.
HOT: Manitoba scoring
The Bisons one goal vs. McGill has to be seen as a moral victory when you consider Martlet goalie Charline Labonté has a GAA of less than one for the season (0.78). The gold-medal winner, who is only in her first year, posted an astounding 10 shutouts in 18 games during the regular season.
NOT: Other media
The SSN crew ordered in some pizza between the two games tonight. Once the food arrived it filled the press box with quite the aroma, leaving other members of the press to wonder where they could get some slices.
That's all for now, stay tuned for more blogging as the tournament moves in to day two.
