Marquette, Soo Play Hockey Outside...for 3:37                     The first-ever Upper Peninsula high school hockey game played oudoors came to a premature end Saturday as 40-degree temperatures put a halt to the Marquette vs Sault Ste. Marie game just 3:37 into the game in the Soo. Ice conditions made it impossible to continue, and the game (won by Marquette 6-2) was finished in Pullar Stadium. Above: Marquette goalie Mike McAuliffe sports the shades as the teams shake hands when officials suspended the game. Below: Marquette captain Eric Rizzio (27) and the Soo's Denver Pierce (6) play the game. Click here to see more photos and read details about this historic hockey game. (LeeAnn Kroncich photos)
