Congrats to Mo State's Dan Odenwald (2nd Team Forward), Mizzou's Christian Watters (3rd team Forward), JJ Pyatt from RMC-Springfield (3rd Team Forward) as they represented the MACHA for the Central Region Awards.

Whomever was commenting about MACHA awards, please tell me that I am the one-way player that shouldn't be on the list. The fact that someone hated me as a player enough to make a comment on it brings a smile to my face. I know you will all miss me next year.
Love,
Mr. "should have been offensive player of the year for two years now" himself,

The one and only: Northwestern University

You led your team to an impressive 6 points this year.

Amazing.

Not so fast buddy, we beat Bradley in the last game of the season... we actually had 8 points!

Thank god for Wheaton.

You would think that someone going to Northwestern would realize that this topic is about ACHA central region awards, not MACHA SILVER division awards. Nice job that edjutamicasheon is doing for ya.

The other discussion is locked, idiot. This is why I am so smart, thinking outside the box.... the article I want to post on is locked, there is a brand new topic that no one has posted on, that topic is at the top and will get the most views, I want people to see my hillarious post, man that was hard logic to follow. Geeze, all that thinking got me tired, and we all know what you do when you get tired!!!! Camp out at the blue line.

On another note, I want to take a minute to defent the honor of the NU team. There is no other team in this league that can even begin to understand what our players have to go through to make this team happen. We all do it because we love hockey and have a great time, but there are obstacles here that no one else faces. For starters we are so far away from everybody that travel is a huge problem. We do not go to a school that affords us the opportunity to skip class every other Friday for 5 months. This means leaving during afternoon hours and having to deal with Chicago rush hour everywhere we go. Then we get down there and have 7 or 8 guys for the first couple periods and it ends up costing us games - first game at Western we had 5 guys for the entire first period, had we won that game rather than tied we would have made the playoffs. Our University's academics also do not afford us the opportunity to recruit. We have to go with what we got, and make due with the players that just so happen to attend NU. School also costs 44K a year, and with most students already on financial aid or loans, it is hard to convince parents, or the students themselves, to fork over any additional money for dues. The school gives us next to nothing and actually gave us nothing two years ago. We can only have 1 practice a week due to school schedules, we have no time to fundraise, and on top of all of this we are 95% student run, leaving all the grunt work to a group of guys whose plates couldn't get much more full.

I did not even realize that this fourm existed before stumbling across it when looking into a couple club hockey programs at schools I may attend next year. I am amazed at the amount of free time and effort players in this league have to spend on posting on this site. Is it suprising that there has been no Northwestern "poster" up to this point? Hockey is a huge part of our lives over the course of the season, the difference is that off the ice we are burried in books while you all bicker amongst yourselves on this site.

The first response of everyone (if there is even an everyone - for all I know it's just me and 1 other guy going back and forth here) who reads this will be that I am bring an elitist dick, sterotypical of a NU student. I have no intention of being as such, although I can see how I certainly am comming off that way. My only concern is that when searching the site I found a couple very negatiuve posts made about the NU organization, and I just don't think thats fair. Bicker about each other, but don't talk about things you know nothing about. Also, don't go talking about how we suck and don't deserve players on the all-star team, I mean come on. We are the team least affiliated with the inner-workings of MACHA, meaning that the one and only way for our players to get recognized is based soley on merit. Top to bottom we were certainly not the best team in the league, but not only were we a lot better than our record indicated (besides McKendrie we took every team above us in the standings to OT atleast once, and pulled out a tie at MSU and a win against Bradley), but I would put our best three players up against anybody's. The best hockey player in the league is #14 for NU, and how he got overlooked for the All-Star team is crazy to me. As for the insults directed at me, I take them more as compliments. There is only 1 team I didn't score against, and it is absurd to think how many goals I could have had if we played 27 games instead of 17. Well, all is well that ends well I guess. Had a great time playing in this league, and I'm sad that my hockey career is coming to an end.

Watch out for NU next year, without the party first play later mentality that the two seniors had, they may suprise some people next year. And, oh, the second best hockey player in this league was Roberts from Mckendree (I'm fine with being 3rd), so kudos to the league for getting that one almost right. Pa. produces the best hockey players (Eastern Pa. that is).

When a topic is locked and you want to discuss it still, you make a new one, don't piggy back onto an irrelevant topic. In fact, your point of "making sure it gets read more" would definitely come true if you had started the post.

Don't hurt your shoulder patting yourself on the back.

Thanks for proving you have no class by giving backhanded compliments.

If you say don't mean to offend, then don't actually offend.

Many schools don't get funding, don't get to take off on Fridays and have students that don't have time to do fundraisers, but the still find a way. If you really have no time to fundraise then you also don't have time to party, but you already stated that you do have time to party. Nice try.

Also, if you started a game at Western with 5 guys and got a tie out of it, be happy. There is a little rule stating you have to start a game with 2 goalies. So, just as easily you can say if you had won, also remember you could have lost.

I have nothing against Northwestern. For the most part a pretty clean team. I have no idea who you are, I can tell you that the only player I even remember was mouthy and lacked class. But all teams have players like that ALL of them.

By the way, sorry to burst your bubble, but Minnesota, Michigan and Mass. have the best hockey players.

Good luck in the future, hope that shoulder gets better soon.

For a guy that says you have to study a lot and have not time for outside
stuff, you sure have a lot of time to waste on this site. By the way, I don't even remember anyone on NU, so the guy can't be that good.
