Sweatt Out?

Talented Colorado College freshmen Billy Sweatt didn't play in last Saturday's loss to New Hampshire, and all signs seem to be pointing toward Sweatt possibly having mononucleosis. Sweatt reportedly was scheduled to see a specialist early this week to determine whether or not he had mono. If that is the case, Sweatt would likely miss at least a month, and possibly more, since it would definitely affect his conditioning.

The Tigers, who got swept at home last weekend, will miss Sweatt's offensive abilities when they travel to Minnesota this weekend to take on the Gophers.

Update

Colorado Springs Gazette writer Kate Crandall confirms that Sweatt has mono. Another freshmen, Nate Prosser, also will not play due to a pretty serious concussion.

Meanwhile, opponent Minnesota will have their own health problems, though Justin Bostrom should be the only one to miss time this weekend.

Chris,
Love what you do and greatly appreciate your contributions to my daily understanding and knowledge of the western college hockey world (which thanks to you is voluminous compared to what it was before I stumbled across your blog).

One nit-picky comment here though, as I see this mistake ALL the time:

freshmen = two or more first-year players.
freshman = one singluar first-year player.

.....anyways, keep up the solid work. During the season I check in here on a daily basis.

Yeah, I know I do that all the time. Sometimes I correct it, sometimes I just don't care. I'll try to be more careful of it in the future.
