Turner Cup Playoffs

[lmanchur.]

Any hockey fans out there following the International Hockey League's Turner Cup Playoffs??

Last night, I went to the Manitoba Moose/Houston Aeros game in Winnipeg. It was a great game, even though the Moose lost by a score of 2-1, and now trail by a score of 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

They tried to have a good ol' fashioned White-Out, but it's not the same as it was in the Jets days! :(

anyway, there were about 8000 people there, and it was a great hockey game... if the Moose don't go all the way, I'm cheering for the Orlando Solar Bears 'cuz they have the coolest logo in all of hockey! :)

I used to be into the Turner Cup but then our local team (Indianapolis Ice) were forced due to money problems to move to the CHL. I believe they won it all in 1990.

...the IHL isn't that big of a hockey league, though... so I don't blame you... especially since you aren't a big hockey fan... the minor-pro leagues, the CHL and AHL, are probably better known than the IHL.

HOWEVER, the Manitoba Moose alone have lost 6 players to the NHL playoffs this year!!!... Including Johan Hedberg of Pittsburgh.

"I couldn't figure out if the fans were booing me or what at the start of my first game, but by the end I figured out that they were cheering, 'Moose!'" --Johan Hedberg

I'm sorry I don't keep up with the IHL. I only follow the NHL a little bit but that is all the hockey I ever watch.
