Free and unfettered access to the Internet is a no-brainer for our generation. Maybe not for our parents or grandparents, but at least for us.

“Mission accomplished,” said Huskies head coach Dave Adolph. “That’s all it was.”
His squad’s 10-3 stomping of the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns Feb. 25 at Rutherford Rink in Saskatoon not only swept the ’Horns out of the best-of-three Canada West quarter-final series, but also silenced a team that had caused the Dogs trouble all season long.
