UNO Hockey Captain Dismissed from Team

UNO Hockey captain Matt White and Preston Hodge have been dismissed from the UNO hockey team following a ticket for suspicion of disorderly conduct.

[Brad]

UNO kicked off their 2013-2014 Season last night with a 6-1 win over the Ooks in an exhibition game.

#23 Johnnie Searfoss had a Hat-Trick, with the third Goal being an awesome 1 timer.
UNO played three different goaltenders, only the freshman in the third giving up a goal.
New Scoreboard was great.
The team looked fairly sharp, there was a few missed passed, but its early.

The Mavs return to the Ice this Friday (7:37pm) and Saturday (7:07pm) at Century Link Center Omaha.

[skinzfan23]

I am assuming you were there....how was the attendance?

I have a good friend coming to Omaha for the first time this weekend and I am trying to figure out if I should take him to the UNO game since it is at the nicer arena (but not always the best experience since the arena isn't packed) or if I should take him to the Lancer game, which probably has fewer people at but a greater % of seats filled. I want him to have a great impression of Omaha. What are your thoughts?

[Brad]

Its October Hockey...  Its not going to be even close to full.  If you want to give them a good impression of Omaha.  Go out to eat downtown and then walk over to the Century Link Center.

[Brad]

UNO got a split this weekend.   They dropped Friday night 6-4.  They were actually down 5-2 and got a couple in the third and it was 5-4.  They had a couple chances to tie it late before giving up an empty net goal.  Saturday they got on the board with 0.2 seconds left in the first. And need up getting an empty net late and winning 4-1.

It was a good weekend, the young guys played well and hopefully this team is only going to get better with experience.

Ooops, I knew that, my bad.

[bigredmed]

They won last night.  Maybe we will get a little early season run here?

[Brad]

They won last night.  Maybe we will get a little early season run here?

Hope so but they are down 4-2 tonight in the second intermission.  Way too many penalties this weekend.  UNO also went scoreless on both 5 on 3 opportunities tonight.

[Brad]

UNO lost 6 to 3, and dropped to 2-2 on the year.  The penalties killed them.  Gave up 4 power play goals tonight.  Also have up and empty net at the end.

UNO returns home this weekend.

[Brad]

8 or 9 more penalties tonight... UNO drops game one to the Big Red 5-3.

[MadMartin8]

Boy....they're having an "off" year.

[Brad]

Boy....they're having an "off" year.

A - Its Early
B - Young Team
C - They lost their Captain in the off season
D - Not stand out goaltender yet
E - Coach Blais really seems to focus on the conference season.

Give me a couple conference weekends and then I will decide.

[Brad]

UNO has won 3 of the last 4, including two against Denver in Denver!  The got the split this past weekend against ND.  Up next, Michigan!

[iamjacobm]

Big game tonight.  Would be nice to beat Michigan on tv.

[Coyote]

HUGE win


#2 Michigan 2,  UNO 3

[Brad]

Tonight was awesome!  Wish I could be there again tomorrow!

[Brad]

UNO had another nice game tonight, but lost 4-3 and split the Weekend with #2 Michigan.

[Brad]

Great win for the Mavs tonight!!! Omaha 6, Miami 3

UNO is now in first place in the NCHC.

[Coyote]

Agreed, now if our young goaltenders mature this year... watch out...

[bigredmed]

UNO sweeps Miami 3 to 1!

UNO sweeps Miami 3 to 1!

Nice...this season is early, but the Mavs are upsetting everyone's predictions for this season so far.

Perfect example of what separates hockey players from the rest. After getting his ankle broke on one shot, he tried to get up and block another one:
