Puck Daddy chats with Bemidji State's Matt Read about being a Cinderella in the Frozen Four and life as a Beaver

 By Sean Leahy

This weekend is the NCAA Frozen Four in Washington, D.C. and Puck Daddy will be on hand to cover the festivities. As a precursor to our coverage, we're chatting with one player from each of the teams involved. Look for  interviews through Thursday. Today, it's Matt Read from the 'Cinderella' story of the tournament so far, the Bemidji State Beavers.

The story of the 2009 NCAA Men's ice hockey tournament to this point has been the crazy amount of upsets within the first two rounds: Three No. 1 seeds -- Denver, Michigan and Notre Dame -- were all ousted in the first-round.

The 'Cinderella' so far has been the tournament's No. 16 seed, Bemidji State out of Minnesota, who eliminated the Fighting Irish 5-1. The Beavers are playing in their third NCAA tournament as automatic qualifiers out of College Hockey America (CHA).

Matt Read, a sophomore forward on Bemidji State, was the CHA's Rookie of the Year and a member of the conference's All-Rookie team in 2007-08; as well as an all-CHA selection this season. For the second season in a row, Read is leading the team in scoring. It was his overtime goal in the CHA championship game against Robert Morris that put the Beavers into the NCAA tournament.

    Alumni Game 2009

    Former Milton Merchants/Icehawks treated the fans to a blast from the past on friday December 18, 2009.

    They enjoyed reminiscing about the old days, partaking of food and refreshments upstairs after the game and watching the current team play. A good time was had by all.

    James Woodcroft Honoured

    OJAHL - James Woodcroft

    P3278777_small

    Scoring 14 goals and nine assists in just 11 games throughout November makes the Milton Icehawk forward James Woodcroft the perfect choice for the OJAHL Bauer Player of the Month. On a club that hasn't had much to look forward to so far this season, Woodcroft has been a pleasant surprize. The 6'2, 185lbs power forward uses his size and speed to burn the opposition. Finding the back of the net is Woodcrofts job and he has not let down his boss. The Milton native brings a positive attitude to the rink each night and works hard every shift.

    Check out how Woodcroft's season is going this year on Pointstreak

    Congratulations from your family,team-mates and staff and management of the Milton Icehawks.

    Mark's father, Murray, was responsible for resurrecting Junior Hockey (Jr C) in Milton in the 1967-1968 season.

    Milton native James Woodcroft was also recognized as the OJAHL Bauer Player of the Month for November. Congratulations James.
