NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN GOPHERS AND HUSKIES
If their first ever series is any indication, St. Cloud State and Min-nesota are well on their way to developing a classic college hockey rivalry. In the Huskies’ WCHA debut against the Gophers Oct. 12, a standing-room-only audience of 7,051 was on hand at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn. According to the SCS media guide, capacity at the brand new arena is 5,800. The crowd got its money’s worth. The game finished in a 3-3 standoff. “Otto (Breitenbach, WCHA commissioner) said it had the atmosphere of a national championship game,” St. Cloud coach Craig Dahl said. The following night in Minneapolis, a sellout crowd of 7,457 at Mariucci Arena saw the Gophers rally from a 4-2 deficit to triumph 5-4.

With what he said was his first four-goal game since atom or pee-wee, Domi showed he can also be a scoring threat for the Rangers. Through Oct. 16, the second-year right winger led the AHL in goals with seven and was second in…


CYCLONES IN EYE OF STORM IN CINCINNATI
The Cincinnati Cyclones, a minor-league expansion team trying to make a go of it in a major-league market, can’t catch a break. Cincinnati was buzzing because the Reds landed in the World Series. To compound matters, the National Football League Bengals were in first place in the AFC Central Division and coach Sam Wyche is stealing headlines about his locker-room policy concerning female reporters. What’s a team—which didn’t open its doors for business until August—to do? “From that standpoint, it’s very challenging,” Cyclones director of communications Terry Ficorelli said. “However, we’ve taken a positive approach. Perhaps the Reds being in the World Series will heighten the public consciousness and awareness regarding their pro sports franchises and the Cyclones will experience a favorable fallout.” More than 800 season tickets have been sold for the Cyclones’…
