Fox 9 News put the Gopher hockey program back in the news again, this time reporting that police acquired a search warrant to investigate the Gophers taking recruits to Blarney's Pub.
The news report mentions the footage they showed earlier of a 17 year old recruit(hint: his name rhymes with Shmike Shmorney"), who didn't drink that night, and actually ended up driving his host home that. There were other recruits there that night that did get pretty hammered though.
The police are investigating records of who has visited Minnesota and who their hosts were. They are also investigating free ticket lists to see who was giving free tickets to Blarney's owner Mike Mulrooney.
The situation may take years to resolve, but the involvement of the police is probably not good news for Minnesota. The NCAA probably would have been willing to brush the situation off, but if the police uncover something, the NCAA will be forced to take action.

Minnie has been doing similar things for football recruits.
They need a wake up call.
What a great recruiting ploy for Lucia, gettem hammered and make them sign the papers.
Getting a high school kid drunk under the supervision of the university and possibly using the university's money is absurd and should be penalized. I wouldn't doubt it if there was individual lawsuits against the U handed by the parents.
Maize, any comments on the Mankato players who were suspended against the Badgers last weekend for carousing around town with date rape drugs??????
Now that's a story! Oh, wait, you'd much rather try and join up with two crap hole newscasters trying to drum up a non-story against the Gophers during sweeps week....
Well since one has been reported and one is just speculation and rumors at this point, yeah, I guess I would.
Other recruits got pretty hamered?
read the report again they make no such allegation they say the sources say the other recruit Drinks. Not that he drank or was "Hammered".
You're right. It is also unclear if Justin Bostrom drank the beer that was sitting in front of him.
I apologize.
"What a great recruiting ploy for Lucia, gettem hammered and make them sign the papers."
Hmm maybe that explains Kessel's commitment to the Gophers. I remember the paper stating that he "I woke up that morning and decided that I wanted to be a Gopher",
but maybe he meant to say "I woke up from a long night at Barney's hung over only to find my Letter of Intent taped to my forehead when I woke up. I guess I am a Gopher."
Your all a bunch of dumb asses. Do you think this is the first time this has happend. NO chanel 9 needed something to get raitings, and it worked LET IT GO
