Each week, USCHO.com will pick the top 10 moments from the past weekend in our Monday 10 feature.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Bemidji State, Michigan Tech take it outside<\/strong><\/p>\n

With bone-chilling temperatures Friday night in Minnesota, overtime was probably the last thing players and fans at a rink adjacent to Lake Bemidji wanted.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s what happened, as Bemidji State\u2019s Dillon Eichstadt scored 3:05 into overtime to give the Beavers a 4-3 win over Michigan Tech in an outdoor game were temperatures dipped as low as 15 degrees below zero.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a fun environment,\u201d Bemidji State coach Tom Serratore told the Grand Forks Herald<\/em><\/a> . \u201cIt was a great environment. Obviously, we realize it was extremely cold out there, but I think it makes it even more memorable for both teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the first time Bemidji State had played in an outdoor game. Michigan Tech played in the 2013 Great Lakes Invitational.<\/p>\n

2. Weather impacts other games as well<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cold weather impacted the schedule throughout the country last weekend, as two games were postponed and several others had their start times moved up to avoid complications from the snowstorm.<\/p>\n

The Mayor\u2019s Cup between Rensselaer and Union set for Saturday was rescheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 7 p.m., while Friday\u2019s Denver and Colorado College game was postponed to a later date in either February or March.<\/p>\n

Several other teams were unable to make the trip home following Saturday\u2019s game, including Dartmouth, who channeled the spirit of Twitter\u2019s favorite Civil War captain in describing the team\u2019s snowed-in experience.<\/p>\n
