Air Force Hockey Be Rollin'

Your Air Force Falcon hockey team rolls into the post season on a tear after sweeping the league leading Niagara Purple Eagles 5-2 & 6-1 over the weekend. Friday night's game was the best hockey game, pro or college, that I've seen in years. Shots,shots and more shots!  Hits, two teams that don't like each other and end to end to end to end action!

Air Force's Mike Walsh and Niagara's Marc Zanette
give a little girl quite the fright. The bastards.
The sweep clinched the 2nd seed for Air Force and earned them a weekend off before hosting a best of three playoff series March 15-17 in the Atlantic Hockey tournament 2nd round. Win and they head off the Albany for the AHA Final Four. Win that and they're back in the NCAA Tournament.

Captain John Kruse puts a bit of flex on his twig.

the Purple Eagles' (ain't no such thing) Dan Kolenda
and Air Force's Adam MacKenzie.

Goal by Adam MacKenzie!
March 15-17 will be the last time to watch the Falcons in person. This is a fun team. They play hockey the right way. Tickets are available so get on out and support your country dammit!
