Anyone on the team that can kick field goals?

Maybe next time SC comes to town, we ditch the grass-growing routine, cover the field with a sheet of ice, and send our hockey team out on defense instead...

I have been watching ND hockey for the past three years now as a grad student and am immensely proud of our boys.

Jeff Jackson has done a terrific job of taking a program that was in the dumps (5 wins the season four years ago) and turning it into a National contender.

Personally I hope that Notre Dame doing well in hockey gets more people interested in college hockey.

They are up against Michigan, which makes me ask, when was the last time ND and Michigan played a game with championship implications this big? In any sport really (well any major sport).

why do people call hockey players icers? the observer always did that and i never understood it
matt | Email | Homepage | 03.30.08 - 6:22 pm | #

It's the equivalent of "cagers" or "hoopsters" for basketball ... it's a single word instead of "hockey/basketball players" or "the hockey/basketball team". You see it used even more often here because of the assonance/vowel alliteration in "Irish Icers"

I've always liked the old, classic term "gridders" for football players.

Off topic, but I look forward to seeing the new George Clooney comedy about football in the 1920's simply for the experience of seeing leather helmeted, wool jersey-wearing players in HD.

If you want to see old time hockey in HD, check out "The Rocket"

yeah, well i've always understood why they use it. i think if i hadn't grown up 10 minutes from canada and was a hockey novice, I'd probably have no opinion on it. but going to nd after watching hockey for 18 years and all of a sudden hearing this random word "icers"...it just struck me as strange.

but that's just me being particular.

In this case I was strictly going for alliteration Matt. No other real reason.

Voice,

I look forward to seeing "Leatherheads" simply for the experience of seeing George Clooney...oh, and of course, old-time football.

Leatherheads were still playing in the 50's plus all the interhall teams wore old varsity leather helmets and no face mask.....we were very tough then
