I have just returned, along with 7 other WashU students, from an evening of hockey. It was the championship game between Dr. Ron Cytron's team the Blast and their archrivals the Eagles. I say archrivals because all 9 games in the season were played against them. The Eagles took the early lead, but the Blast dominated the 2nd and 3rd periods to make a valiant comeback. Alas, they came up just short and lost 3-2. Some game highlights:

-At one point the Blast had 3 men in the penalty box at the same time, which was more than the scoreboard had room for.
-michael got locked out of the arena for 10 minutes during the 3rd period.
-My aforementioned CS professor/research advisor was on the ice for four of the five goals scored despite playing sparingly. His plus/minus ended up at 0.
-Being the CS tools that we are, someone amongst us printed out a banner for the game that read 'public static void main(String args []) { Blast.Cytron.Go() }'.

All in all it was a quite enjoyable evening even if the Blast ended up on the short end of the stick in the championship game. It has also inspired me to resume my tennis career this summer. If anyone knows of any St. Louis-area tennis organizations that run open tournaments, please let me know.
