I say "today or tonight" because the teams are playing at the O'Brien Icehouse in Melbourne where the Brisbane Lightning will meet the Perth Inferno in the gold medal game at 5pm Melbourne time or at midnight in the Central Time Zone on March 1. Melbourne, for those doing the math, is 17 hours ahead of Winnipeg. The AWIHL Final will feature the t...

Victory-Saving Stop

I admit that I don't spot a lot about Canada West men's hockey on HBIC. My focus when I first started this blog was to get more exposure on the women's game, but the men's game likely deserves the same effort when it comes to coverage. Frankly, someone could likely make a solid living if they were paid to cover Canada West hockey, but I'm not about to dive head-first into that venture being that I already devote one full day to Canada West. Tonight, however, I need to talk about the men's hock...
