For the first time since 2005, there's no local Division I men's basketball team in the NCAA Tournament. But despair not, March Madness junkies, we have an alternative -- hockey.

In case you haven't heard, there's a hockey program at Union that happens to be pretty good -- as in, one-of-the-top-five-programs-in-the-country good. Union begins a three-game playoff series Friday at Messa Rink, a perfect time to jump on the Dutchmen's bandwagon.

Don't know anything about hockey? No problem. Even if you've never put a slapper through the five hole after a stay in the sin bin at the old barn, the Union hockey program welcomes you aboard.
