At this very moment, the ice of the outdoor rink is glimmering in the sunlight in anticipation of its annual Winter Classic that will take place this evening. Gary Bettman and the National Hockey League may have canceled the NHL Winter Classic that was to be played between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings, but that's not stopping a talented group of hockey players from getting together for the annual Danglers Winter Classic.

High school was over, and many of us were going away to college or starting to work full-time. Every summer, the Danglers were put together through the Midnight Hockey League on Long Island and have continued to go strong for five years.

We'll return to the Preseason top 16 starting next week, but for now we have some more aesthetically pleasing news. St. Lawrence plays in Appleton Arena, which is one of the most classic arenas in all of college hockey. It is also one of the oldest out there, opening in 1951. It went through renovations in the 70s, 80s, 90s and now the Saints hockey team will have a brand new locker room to call home starting in 2012, and boy is it sweet.

The Saints finished 8th in ECAC Hockey last year, and with most of their best players being underclassmen they can possibly get back ...
