College Hockey at the Sprint Center

My boys landed some tickets to the Sprint Center for the "Ice Breaker" tournament--a pre-season hockey bout between Notre Dame, Army, UNL-Omaha, and Univ. of Maine. They were thrilled to see some good teams on the ice, and had a chance to wear their Notre Dame jerseys!
