I'll get this out of the way right off the bat. Now that February is here - it is going to be so nice to be spending three out of the next four weekends at home!
January was a tough month, with seven of the eight games away from the Greenberg Ice Pavilion. On the ice, the Icers were 5-3, including last weekend's huge split at Delaware.
Saturday's 3-2 win at the Rust Arena may have been enough to secure a spot in the national tournament. We'll have a better idea when the new ranking is released on Friday.
There's no time to rest with Rhode Island coming to Hockey Valley this weekend. The sixth-ranked Rams will be looking to spoil the party on Alumni Weekend. As Rodney Martin put it in his weekend capsule:
On Tuesday, I spoke with Mike Broccolo and Dan Petrick.
Mike scored the game winner on Saturday, just his first goal of the season, while Dan may have saved the Icers' season on Saturday after enduring a tough night on Friday.
Both know the importance of this two-game series, and both know they'll have lots of support from what should be a full house for both games.
Don't forget - Saturday's game has been moved up to a 2:00pm start from the normal 3:30pm faceoff.

The Icers are "on the bubble" of making the ACHA National Tournament field for the 20th-consecutive time. A pair of victories would likely punch their ticket to the dance.
Also in the balance is the ESCHL, regular-season title. If the Icers sweep the Rams (with at least one win in regulation) and sweep Robert Morris next weekend, they will be ensured at least a share of the ESCHL crown. If they sweep their remaining games and Delaware loses either of their games with West Chester the following week, the Icers will be sole owners of the regular-season title. The Icers have won at least a share of the league title since it was formed in 2007.
