Lancer fans can be such pussies. Wah wah $TEAM fans are so mean.
Blah blah blah. Grow a pair.

It’s hockey time in Omaha
Ready for a Hamms tallboy or three and the opportunity to direct some verbiage at my least favorite USHL team–Waterloo. Here’s to hoping they got into town too late to hold their traditional referee potluck dinner so we get the calls this time around.
Classy
Lancer fans like to hold their organization up as a paragon of class in the USHL. And yet the organization does things like this:
Chuck-a-Bear
All ready for the teddy bear toss tonight.
Fargo Farce
How pumped up am I for live hockey tonight? I watched the season home opener against Fargo on On Demand already this morning. Here’s to another shut out win against the Farce tonight.
Longing
There’s no Lancers game to attend tonight? Certainly feels like there should be.
How the hell I get through the offseason is beyond me.
Stoked
It’s hockey time in Ralston tonight! A double dose of live hockey this weekend. Not sure how I’m going to make it through the next seven hours at work.
Opening Day
Happy Hockey Day everybody! My two favorite teams open their seasons at home tonight. Go Lancers! Go Stars!
It’s almost hoodie/jersey time
The USHL teams released their final rosters/protected lists[1] today! Time to start working on the game face and stretch out the vocal cords. Seriously ready for some puck.
Surprises to me so far
- The Stars stand pat with an exceptionally inexperienced crew of forwards. Number of goals scored last year by returning Stars forwards this season: 0.
- On the other hand the Stars could have one of the most dominant blue lines around. Lots of size (except for Willett), lots of speed, and a couple of heavy slapshots.
- The Lancers have a billion returning starters this year and have to be a favorite to take the West
- Last year a Lancer, this year a Star: Dominic Sacco
- Wilson Vershay stays with the Stars instead of opting for the OHL where he was drafted
- Gersich didn’t make the Lancers roster–he’s still an affiliate. Absolutely loved the spark he brought at the end of last season to a team otherwise intent on navel gazing
- Nash Warden is a forward this year (at least to start the season). Fun to watch wherever he lines up.
The only home exhibition game is tomorrow night at Tranquility. Going to try to make that!
McGroarty takes the reins
Wow. Out of the blue (heh). Here’s to hoping McGroarty keeps the Stars edgy. Watched his last season in Omaha and, well, meh is about all I can say about that effort.
Johnson leaves for health/personal reasons; McGroarty steps in
