#102 Biscuits and Breezers    Welcome back to another regular blog of Biscuits and Breezers! Finally, we are able to squeeze one normal blog in during a time where everything is hectic and busy due to playoffs, Nationals, and Championships. I apologize that I haven't put out a normal blog since the end of March, I have been absolutely swamped! The good news is that I have multiple and exciting articles coming up that I think you all will enjoy! For the news preceding the Stanley Cup playoffs and the end of the 2013-2014 NHL Regular season, I have compiled a list of injuries, team updates, and suspensions that have occurred over the past 5 days or so. Starting with the injuries.

First up is Lupul. The Toronto Maple Leafs forward will require knee surg...

Jessee Game Biscuits and Breezers   Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! In this blog you will be able to meet the incredibly talented captain of the Edina Lakers, Jessee Game! In the 2013-2014 season, he had 7 goals in 45 games played, 26 assists, 33 TPs, 2 power play goals, 73 PIMs, and 1 game winning goal. Before I get to the interview, I would like to discuss Jessee as a player. Game is the type of player that goes out onto the ice every night playing his absolute hardest, supporting his team mates as much as he can, and playing an incredible game of hockey. His leadership skills on and off the ice are absolutely phenomenal and he is definitely one of the main keys to the Edina Lakers' success this season. He is supporting his team mates no matter what circumstances the team is in and is a solid block for his team to rely on. Jessee is the type of player who pushes the boundaries of the game as much as he can and is constantly trying to ad...

Nationals Update Blog: Dells Ducks (MnJHL) Helena Bighorns (AWHL) Marquette Royales (MnJHL) Boston Bandits (EJHL) WWU Vikings (College) Biscuits and Breezers    Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! In this blog, you will be able to read daily coverage on the USA Hockey Tier 3 Junior Nationals taking place on April 3-7. After the Playoff Update series and a great response to it, I decided to follow these lucky champions throughout their individual journeys to see if they can take their off-season all way to the number one spot. Day 1 was quite an eventful day for all teams involved. The Ducks were put up against the Bandits and the Bighorns battled the Royales. Hundreds of miles away in Newark, Ohio, the Western Washington University Vikings are looking to defend their title in the Collegiate Ice Hockey Association championships which also started on the April 3rd. Something I should also mention before I get to the reviews, at the en...
