WCHA FINAL FIVE TICKETS

I am sure that organizers of the WCHA Final Five in St. Paul breathed a huge sigh of relief when the Minnesota Gophers beat Alaska Anchorage to advance to the tournament this weekend at the Xcel Energy Center. The tickets will be a hot commodity this year due to the fact that all but one of the teams in the tournament are from schools that are relatively close to the Twin Cities. The fans of North Dakota, Wisconsin, St. Cloud and Minnesota can obviously all easily drive to the tourney which should drive up the attendance as well as the prices. If you want to see the Golden Gophers play on Friday, I would buy your tickets now. If Wisconsin wins their play-in game on Thursday, they will face off against the Gophers on Friday. Any border battle game between the Gophers and Badgers is an untouchable ticket. Don't miss your chance to see some great college hockey action this weekend at the Xcel Energy Center.
