That's what it took for Boston University to stage an instantly legendary collegiate sports finish more thrilling than any Final Four basketball game ... ever!

This was the Super Bowl for hockey fans ...

 


The 2009 NHL Winter Classic was terrific ~ all the way down to the throw-back uniforms! What a great departure from the usual New Year's Day college football bowl games.

The time-lapse video of how the rink was built at Wrigley Field is great.

Suit up with 2 NHL greats ...

Invesco Trimark has a great new TV commercial in Canada that weaves together clips of Wayne Gretzky and Maurice Richard as if they are playing in the same game.

Gretzky wheels behind the net, passes to Richard who backhands the puck into the net. Then the 2 NHL greats embrace on the ice. [I was unable to find the spot online.]

On Invesco Trimark's Website you can create a downloadable wallpaper of your personalized jersey hanging next to The Great One and The Rocket.
