From the Land of Sky Blue Waters

No, this isn't a blog about Hamms Beer. It's a blog about me, Anne. I'm a Montana girl who now calls Minnesota home. I'm missing the mountains and my family but loving the lakes and Peter. I wanted a way for everyone to keep tabs on me. So voila mon blog.

M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A

Minnesota! Minnesota! Yaaaaaaay Gophers!

This Minnesota rouser is going out to the Gopher Hockey team. They won their Icebreaker tournament this weekend, prevailing against RPI and Michigan. I really enjoy professional hockey, but I LOVE college hockey. The Gophers are always fun to watch, and I'm really excited about this season.

I have something of a tradition of choosing the best Gopher Hockey name each year. Joining the ranks of Kris Chucko and Alex Goligoski is #4, the freshman defenseman from Chanhassen, Minnesota: Stu Bickel. He had a few good plays last night, and I'm happy to have him on the blue line. Plus his name is awesome :)

In other Gopher name news, one of the players has the same last name as my grandma's maiden name. That makes me a big fan. Alex Kangas, #33 freshman goaltender from Rochester, I am rooting for you! Who knows, we may even be distantly related :)

It's a great day for hockey!
