Welcome to Michigan Hockeycast 8.5, where you're all invited to our poker game.

0:28.9

Wait until you see who shows up.

1:01.5

Yeah. Alex, do you think of Michigan running backs, which one comes to mind that you think would have a family relative playing college hockey?

1:04.4

I know what you're going to... Oh, did you already look this up?

1:06.9

Peter brought it up, but I also knew this several years ago. You used several years ago? Because, yeah, the, the current Biocca Batuka relative is not the first to play hockey. There's several of them. There have been multiple of them? Well, because they were French. They lived in Quebec. Like, that's where. Oh. Okay. So Anthony Biakabatuka plays for Holy Cross. Yes, and there was...

1:30.6

But he's not really playing, I don't think. Like when I looked this up, and maybe he played this weekend, I'd prep the opener work before, but he'd only played in one game, which is not many. I mean, I don't know, maybe Holy Cross is playing a lot of games. I don't follow a lot of Holy Cross hockey.

Yeah, so Tim Biocca Batuka moved to Montreal area when he was four years old.

But he played in Ramoski and then Charlottetown in the QMJHL.

2:11.8

And then he played briefly for the Griffins, which I remember.

2:14.7

Oh.

2:15.4

But he's kind of just topped out as a... ECHO guy, yeah. And then there's another brother, Samuel, who let's see, his age. He's only 16, so we'll see what happens with him in the future. But yeah, all of them besides Tim are hockey players, I guess. Yeah, that's... That was kind of weird, wasn't it? I mean, that was not the person who would come to my mind.

2:36.4

I mean, maybe, but anyway, uh, well, that wasn't as as exciting as I'd hoped it would be,

2:43.9

but, um, we must discuss, uh, NCHC TV because Michigan played Western in a home and home.

2:51.6

And so the first game was on at Yost was on BTN, which hooray, not BTN minus, but actual
