"The Fox 9 Investigators uncover underage drinking by at least five players on the Golden Gopher men's hockey team.
It takes place at Blarney Pub and Grill, in the heart of Dinkytown near the U of M campus.
Starting Thursday night, Dinkytown becomes party town, and the alcohol flows 'til last call at 2:00 a.m. Monday morning.
Blarney Pub and Grill is a popular hot spot, where a lot of booze is poured, and among the many students drinking it are members of the University of Minnesota men's hockey team.
A team ranked number one at the start of the season, predicted by some to win the 2006 national title.
But there's a problem: over the course of 2 months, the Fox 9 Investigators videotaped 8 underage hockey players inside Blarney Pub and Grill.
Of those 8, 5 of them are drinking alcohol.
That means they're breaking laws, and violating the NCAA's policy on alcohol, which says underage drinking by student athletes is unacceptable.
The Fox 9 Investigators spent six weekends undercover inside and outside of Blarney Pub and Grill, shooting 50-hours of surveillance tape with our hidden cameras.
The video we shot of the underage drinkers is now being investigated by the University of Minnesota."
