The Beavers Big Deal

The ride is over for our beloved Bemidji State Beavers. After shocking the world by reaching the Frozen Four, Bemidji lost a heart-breaker to Miami, Ohio last night.

What does this have to do with camp? For many of us, Bemidji State is our adopted underdog team. Having enjoyed many "Bemidji Days" between sessions and having headed into Bemidji for my days off while I was a counselor, Bemidji holds a special place in my heart. Who doesn't love a Beaver mascot and the statue of Paul and Babe just a half mile from the BSU campus?

It was fun, Beaver fans! Check out these great articles, one in the New York Times and one in the Wall Street Journal, which ranks BSU's ascension to the Frozen Four as one of the greatest sports upsets in all of US sports history.
