Protects the goal during hockey practice

U.S. Air Force Academy freshman goalie Jason Torf protects the goal during hockey practice at the academy's Cadet Ice Arena in Colorado Springs, Colo., March 21, 2011. For the fourth time in five years, the Air Force will be playing in the NCAA Hockey Tournament. The Falcons are the fourth seed in the NCAA Eastern Regional and will face top-seeded Yale at the Webster Bank's Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Conn. The Air Force is playing in its school-record fourth NCAA tournament, as the Falcons also won the Atlantic Hockey Association Tournament in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
