Biggest CCHA weekend of the year coming up.

Tonight’s the CCHA Awards show, tomorrow’s the semifinals, and Sunday the CCHA crowns their final playoff champion. Needless to say, we’re going to be spending a lot of time in Detroit this weekend.

Here’s a list of the nominees up for awards tonight. Lots of Michigan connections involved – we like that around the MiHockey offices.

The Red Wings start their latest West Coast road trip tonight with a game against the red-hot Anaheim Ducks at 10 p.m. Eastern time.

The Whalers take on the Sarnia Sting in the first round of the OHL playoffs, starting tonight at Compuware Arena.
