The Niagara Gazette takes a look at the Niagara Purple Eagles' quest to reach the Tournament for the first time since 1970.

Despite the high cost of electricity at the Garden, there will be a consolation game. You'll be able to tell who the Portland Pilots players are - they're the ones with the excellent table manners. |
