The Blizzard boys season is over as they lose 9-0 to the Superior Spartans.

I'm not going to write too much about the game but suffice it to say the Spartans were the better team. The Blizz were outmatched by the speed and skill of Superior. This is not a slam against the Blizzard, they had a fine year, they just got beat by a better team.

Hey, sometimes in life someone's better than you. Hopefully you can use that fact to motivate yourself to become better.

It was a good season for the Blizzard and I'm glad I was able to broadcast more hockey games this year than I had in all my previous years combined. Hockey is a fun sport to watch and our guys played the game the way it was meant to be played.

The Blizzard girls also saw their season come to an end with a 4-3 overtime loss to Chippewa Falls/McDonnell Central tonight in the opening round of their state playoffs.

Both teams had great seasons!

Last thought… on my way home from Superior I stopped at Arby's to get myself a juicy roast beef sandwich which I had been craving the entire night (I could almost taste the horsey sauce during the broadcast). Lo and behold I get there and the hockey team was already there. Turns out the restaurant ran out of roast beef. Yeah… Arby's ran out of the main ingredient to 80% of their menu. This is like Oreo running out of creme filling or Pizza Hut running out of cheese or something. Unacceptable. Where are we, Vancouver?

The Blizzard girls received a 5 seed for the upcoming WIAA tournament. They finished with a 13-9-1 record. They'll be playing the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (9-11) in Chippewa Falls.

I don't think I fully understand how the seeding works, but I'm surprised that this game isn't reversed with the pretty big discrepancy in records, but what do I know?
