An Adirondack Hockey Adventure

.
Despite the upcoming first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, hockey is the sport of preference this weekend as we head north for what should be a special trip. When it comes to history, it’s hard to beat the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, now known as Herb Brooks Arena. Of course that is the site of the 1980 Olympics and the Miracle on Ice. The arena does host a few hockey tournaments and for the last five years, it has held NCAA Division I conference tournament action in the form of the ECAC Semifinals and Final. It is a perfect home given the location of Lake Placid with respect to league members, not to mention how awesome the town and arena is. Stars aligned for this weekend to be available for me to make a trip and my brother will be joining as we look forward to time in Lake Placid before the championship game Saturday Night in the historic venue. To complete the road trip, before we get to the Adirondacks, we’ll stop in Glens Falls Friday Night to see their Civic Center and an ECHL game with the Thunder. We’ll have some periodic snow at times to start and hopefully that does not disrupt our weekend plans as this promises to be a special trip. Back next week with a wrap-up.
