The Mavericks were scheduled to leave Mankato on Thursday morning for this weekend's Shillelagh Tournament at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Ill. The team — it's been confirmed that all 26 players are on the trip — will attend tonight's Chicago Blackhawks-San Jose Sharks game and practice on Friday before playing Notre Dame at 6 p.m. on Saturday, following the Boston University-Brown game. Win or lose, MSU will play either BU or Brown at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Minnesota State players are excited about the tournament. Said senior Ben Youds: "I haven't been in a tournament since I got here — since I was at Shattuck and we went overseas. The tournament atmosphere is definitely fun. If you win you go on and play for a trophy and bragging rights."
While MSU hasn't played since Dec. 12 against North Dakota, their Saturday opponent, the Irish, played Canisius on Wednesday night and won 10-2.
Here is some more information about the tournament, including Internet broadcast instructions.
PucKato will be heading down to the tournament on Saturday and plans on doing the live blog.
