Icedogs and the Robertson Cup
Yesterday morning the Icedogs departed their mountain enclave for the grassy flats of Ohio to participate in the Robertson Cup Championship Tourney. The Bourne cup champs rode in style all the way to Billings and were paraded through the length of Main Street by a Police Harley escort. Scenes somewhat remeniscent of Slapshot. Small town hockey support. Not really anything I witnessed before living in the Motorcities. Goaltender Matt Dalton is up for two awards as the MVP of the league and rookie of the year. Coach LaFontaine is also up for coach of the year. I had the pleasure to interview both of them for the Exponent. Great guys, couldn't have hoped for two better nominations. The awards will be handed out tonight prior to the start of the tournament.
The Icedogs are ranked number one entering competition, and as such will face off against Cleveland. There should be a good number of Bozeman households tuned in tomorrow to witness the first game. Go Dogs Go.
