The U-M hockey team will have a new rink to call home for one game next season...The Big House. Last week, Michigan and Michigan State Athletics finalized their plans for an outdoor game to be played in Michigan Stadium next December. Dubbed "The Big Chill at the Big House", the game is garnering excitement among players and fans notably because of the potential attendance. The Big House holds nearly 16 times more spectators than Yost Ice Arena, allowing for the possibility of a new world record for attendance at a hockey game. The prior record of 75,544 was set in 2001 when the two teams played another outdoor game at Spartan Stadium. The game is set for December 11, 2010. Ticket information will be announced on MGoBlue.com by the end of February.
Speaking of Michigan winter sports, Wolverine athletes are gearing up for this year's Winter Olympics. University of Michigan athletics dominated the Summer 2008 Olympics with Michael Phelps' success and are now looking to do the same this winter. Ice skating pairs Meryl Davis and Charlie White along with Evan Bates and Emily Samuelson have their eyes on Vancouver. The four will be arriving next week to the Olympic site and will stay until March to compete in the ice dance event.

| And in a disappointing turn events, the Wolverines lost again today to little brother Michigan State. Hopes were held high as Michigan led at the half 27-25 and those hopes remained as the battle rage... | |
