SOONERS WEEKLY
For the Week of December 11, 2006

NO. 2 SOONERS SPLIT WITH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
OU REACHES 20 WINS BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK

THIS WEEK’S GAMES - The University of Oklahoma® hockey club (20-1-0) is off for Finals and the Christmas holiday break. The Sooners return to action after the New Year on January 4th when they participate in the Arizona State University Desert Classic. The Sooners will face Minot State, DePaul and Arizona State in the four-day tournament.

LAST WEEK’S OU HOCKEY GAMES – Oklahoma split a pair of games with Central Oklahoma (9-7-0-2) this past weekend. On Friday night in Edmond, the visiting Sooners got off to a slow start in the first two periods and found themselves down by three goals going into the third period. OU woke up in the last twenty minutes, scoring two goals and having numerous chances to tie the game. However, time ran out on the Sooners and OU’s twenty game winning streak ended with a 3-2 loss. The next night in Oklahoma City, OU dominated play from the opening whistle. The Sooners unloaded four goals on the Bronchos in the second period and added a fifth tally in the last stanza while Aaron Schmeilski stopped every Central Oklahoma shot he saw for his third shutout of the season as OU cruised to a 5-0 victory. With the win Saturday night, Oklahoma has reached the 20-win plateau quicker than any previous season in OU Hockey history.

RANKINGS – The Sooners are currently ranked 2nd in the most recent ACHA Coaches Division 1 ranking. The next ACHA D1 ranking is scheduled to be released this Friday.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS – Everyone associated with the OU Hockey program, the players, coaches and volunteers, want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. Thank you for your continued support of OU Hockey.
