Can't believe it's been 10 years

It's 10 years this week since the Green Bay Gamblers last played for and won the Clark Cup - given to the playoff champions of the USHL. The Gamblers have already won the Anderson Cup two years in a row - given to the regular season champs or team with the best overall record. It's been a long drought for the Gamblers. Since Jon Cooper and his staff took over last season, the results have been nothing short of amazing. Mark Osiecki was the last head coach to win the Clark Cup. He left the Gamblers to be an assistant at UW and just last week was named the new head coach of Ohio State. We've had coaches with good pedigrees, but in the last several years winning has escaped us.

This Friday and Saturday at the Resch is the start of the championship round. The Gamblers take on Fargo. These players have been going at it since late September. They are pumped! Playoff hockey is intense and exciting. It's a great show. I say show because it is definitely entertaining. We probably won't have as big a crowds as this accomplishment deserves because it's getting late for hockey and the games aren't listed on a printed, season schedule. But the media coverage has been great, so we're hoping for at least 3,000 at each game for the start of this best of 5 series. Even if you're not a big hockey fan (I wasn't) you will be entertained by the speed of the game - it is a great spectator sport. See you at the game!
