The ice figures to be blazing this afternoon and evening at Piney Orchard Ice Rink as the 2008 MIAA Ice Hockey championship games, in the both A & B Conferences, take center stage as the winter post-season rolls on.
At 4:00 pm, it will be a battle between St. Paul’s and St. Mary’s for the B Conference crown. St. Paul’s won both regular season meetings, but the Saints are coming off a convincing, 10-5, upset of top-seeded Saints Peter & Paul in the semi-finals, so anything can happen.
The same is true in the A Conference where Calvert Hall and Mount St. Joseph will face-off for the fourth time this season, at 6:00 pm. St. Joe is the only A Conference champion in the history of MIAA ice hockey, but the Cardinals managed two ties and a narrow loss during the regulars season. Both clubs appear to be playing their best hockey of the year.
Admission is $5.00.
