Wrong glass, Sir.
Didn't see a thread started for the season that's about to kick off, so here it goes.

The last sentence warms my frickin' heart. It's far, far overdue for the administration to stop marketing Ohio State hockey as a family event for Columbusites and start marketing it as a student event. Now, if we could just get a hockey specific 10K arena built.

BREAKTHROUGH TEAM
Forward Zac Dalpe scored 25 points for Ohio State as a freshman last season.
With just three seniors and two juniors on the roster last season, Ohio State took some people by surprise when then-freshman Zac Dalpe and a trio of sophomores?John Albert, Peter Boyd and Hunter Bishop?helped departed senior Corey Elkins orchestrate the second-most prolific offense in the CCHA.
While that might have been considered the Buckeyes? breakout season, this should be the year that Ohio State plays itself into the previously impenetrable top four (Alaska squeaked past OSU into that spot last season.) The freshman and sophomores that accounted for 82.6 percent of Ohio State?s offense have an extra year of experience and Dustin Carlson has the potential to be among the league?s top netminders, giving the Buckeyes all the tools to compete with Miami, Notre Dame, and Michigan. Add in free student tickets that could help fill Value City Arena and create an imposing home-ice advantage, and the Buckeyes should be a tough team to beat.
