In order to allow ourselves time for any unexpected delays at the border, we will load the bus at Holiday on Saturday at 6am and depart by 6:15am. Without any delays we should arrive at our destination around Noon and will have lunch. We will then check into our hotel around 1pm (if possible). On Sunday, we will depart Michigan around 3:30pm and should get back in Buffalo around 9:30pm if there are no border delays.

We will load the bus at Holiday Twin Rinks is 7am on Friday, March 5th. We will depart by 7:15am. I would anticipate our arrival at the hotel by 2:00pm. We will open against Syracuse at 7pm on Friday. Of course, since this is a double elimination, if we win, we advance 11am or 11:15am on Saturday. If we lose the first game we advance to the 8am or 8:15am game on Saturday morning. It is hard to say what time we return home since we keep playing as long as we advance. Our latest game could be 6pm on Sunday.
