Re: ECAC Headline on USCHO - 20 years ago
Also of interest, buried in Adam's story on the changes in academic standards, is this about one-sport conferences: In other legislation, the Management Council permanently approved a ruling that permits a one-sport conference that has played together for two years to get an automatic NCAA bid. The WCHA and CHA, which did not have the requisite six all-sport Division I schools in their conferencby David Harding - Hockey

Re: Prospect Updates - 20 years ago
Steve Kariya (Maine) - Most Valuable Player, 93-94; Leading Scorer, 94-95; Best Rookie, 94-95 (and no, I don't know how you can be Best Rookie the year *after* you're MVP) MVP for the year, then Best Rookie is strange. But remember that Ken Dryden was MVP of his first Stanley Cup playoffs, then rookie of the year the following year.by David Harding - Hockey

Jeff Hopkins '82 Wrote: Sorry, Roy. Most NHLers usse the composite sticks. I think a lot of college players use them too. A co-worker of mine who coaches high school and midget hockey says you're even seeing them at that level. Why anyone else who doesn't make NHL kind of money would spend a few hundred bucks on a stick that will break so easily is beyond me, but you see them doing it.by David Harding - Hockey

Re: 1966 Sun Article - 20 years ago
I've edited my post to add the dates. 25 Feb 1966 and 17 March 1966 I wasn't paying enough attention to notice that they weren't linking to URL's but actually returning results from a lookup. I had done a search for 1966 articles incluing the words hockey and NCAA.by David Harding - Hockey
Re: OT: Goalie masks vs. catcher's masks - 20 years ago
I think you are refering to Boston Bruins goalie Gerry Cheevers Yes. Too late at night to dredge it up from my memory and too lazy to dig it up from the web.by David Harding - Hockey
Re: 1966 Sun Article - 20 years ago
Those Sun articles are great fun! Harking back to the discussion of goalies, I was interested by these two about the freshman team in the spring of 1966: 25 February 1966 The unbeaten freshman team was preparing to face Colgate again: “Just one month ago, the frosh walked all over the Red Raiders in Lynah, blanking them behind George Swan’s goaltending, 16-0.

Re: OT: Goalie masks vs. catcher's masks - 20 years ago
Remember that for a long, long time goalies didn't wear any mask. It was only when they realized that they could stop pucks with their masks and keep playing that they started to become popular. One of the early ones (who was it?) painted gash with stitches on his contoured mask at each spot he stopped a puck.by David Harding - Hockey
Re: OT: Names - 20 years ago
There are cycles and regional variations, or at least there used to be. Through elementary school there were four of us Davids in my class from second grade through fifth grade. For sixth grade we lost one of them, but two more moved in. On the other hand, half way across the country, my wife says she made it all the way through high school without meeting a David.by David Harding - Hockey
Re: Cornell lax player collapses - 20 years ago
A defibrillator is for the heart. When the heart muscles get mixed up and start firing randomly instead of synchronously, it's called fibrillation. A defibrillator applies a high voltage at a suitable frequency, trying to overpower the spontaneous firing and get things going together again. These used to required a well trained user, but recently defibrillators have become available that canby David Harding - Hockey

Re: Underhill Starts - 20 years ago
Overall the Chicago press was encouraging. The "Daily Herald" headline was "Dream comes true for goalie Underhill" with a sub heading, "Rookie looks good in debut." For the Blackhawks, it was just another day in their tumultuous season. In losing 4-3 to Edmonton in overtime at the United Center on Sunday afternoon, the Hawks were forced to use a clubby David Harding - Hockey
Re: Favorite between-period entertainment? - 21 years ago
At a Jr A game this year they had a minivan circle the ice with its sun roof open. Fans tried to throw imitation pucks in. I'm not sure where the pucks came from or whether they were purchased or free. They must have been made of some rigid foam, because the misses didn't dent the hood or roof. Anyway, the pucks were numbered and anyone whose puck made it through the sun roof won an oil changby David Harding - Hockey
Re: moving on...Princeton (tickets, food) - 21 years ago
The Princeton web site says: *NOTE: PU vs. Cornell, 2/28 - Only standing room tickets available. This event is no longer available online. Tickets will be sold at the gate on the night of the event. .... Tickets are also available on the day of the game at a minimum of one hour before game time at the event venue. Same info in the travel guide...by David Harding - Hockey
Re: pepsi arena - 21 years ago
(25X24x23)/(3x2x1)=2300 combinations of three games over all. (4x3x2)/(3x2x1)=4 combinations of losses. So, the chance of seeing three losses is 4/2300 or 1/575.by David Harding - Hockey
Re: poor grades? - 21 years ago
The great physicist P.A.M. Dirac wrote a classic text on quantum mechanics. I'm told that his class lectures consisted of his reading from that book. Students would complain now and then, but his response was that he had put years of effort into refining the exposition of the subject in the book. To give them anything else would be to give them a second rate product.by David Harding - Hockey

Re: ECAC RS Games at Lynah, by Year - 21 years ago
If Janet Reno had attended hockey games while she was an undergraduate, it wouldn't have been to get face time. The first year in Lynah would have been her sophomore year: 3-7-1. Then 4-16-1. Then 2-19.by David Harding - Hockey

Re: Vermont 0 @ Cornell 7 - 2nd intermission - 21 years ago
The Vermont announcer says he has seen Harvard play many times this season, and he has to pick Cornell next weekend. He can't understand how Cornell could have lost to Colgate last week... He complains about not being able to hear the announcer, blaming the acoustics in The Lynah Rink. "Maybe it's because of the full house tonight."by David Harding - Hockey

Pushing my luck here.... Can anyone fill a gap in my memory? What I remember is a holday tournament in the early 1960's with Laing Kennedy in goal. I can't remember whether I watched it in person or listened on WHCU. Looking at the complete listing of games it must have been '60-'61 in Ithaca where they lost games 3-4, 1-2, and 2-5, or the '62-'63 ECAC Holiday Tournament in NY, where they losby David Harding - Hockey
