Re: North Country - 20 years ago
All right, should my friend and I choose to go to Ottawa, what are we going to need to cross the border? I don't have a passport, though I could probably get my parents to mail me my birth certificate. I guess a NJ driver's license and a social security card (plus my CUID as a secondary photo ID if necessary) won't be enough?by Will - Hockey
Re: Let's go see Sam in Atlantic City - 20 years ago
I might want to attend this Bullies game. It depends on how quickly after Christmas I'll have to return to Ithaca for work reasons. (I live in North Jersey when not in Ithaca.) EDIT: Before a potential group discount, how much is it per ticket? I might want to bring one or two non-Cornellian friends to show them a little of what Cornell hockey fandom is about.

Damn, I thought the thread title meant you were giving away/selling two tickets to the game at Lynah East. Nuts. But the method you're using to give these tickets away is pretty cool. You should post the winning entry.by Will - Hockey

Chris '02 wrote: Although the belt is a cool idea, I really think it doesn't work very well, especially when we get to the part of the season where all teams do is play conference games. It gets stuck in one conference and then doesn't leave. I guess maybe I feel that the ECAC is kinda left out (but then again, we haven't been doing very well out-of-conference lately).

North Country - 20 years ago
A friend and I are considering making the North Country trip next weekend, which we have never done before. The way I figure it, weatherwise, this is the year to do it, as opposed to when the North Country games are scheduled in January or February. So, what are your recommendations about the trip? How easy or hard will it be to obtain tickets? Where are the better/best places to stay, obviouby Will - Hockey

Re: new cheers and old cheers - 20 years ago
I have an idea for a new cheer...a new song, actually, if it can be pulled off by the band. To cheer on Byron Bitz, who thus far seems to be proving himself to be a great asset for the Big Red, the band plays "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet. New Bitz-specific/Cornell hockey-specific cheers would have to be written for the fans to sing, of course. Naturally, "Byron Bitz" replacesby Will - Hockey

My remarks: - McKee definitely looked better tonight. The third goal against him was masterfully done by WMU, though, and I doubt even Lenny could have stopped it. McKee should definitely start at least one game next weekend, if not both. - Alex Dell (the ref) should die a horrible, horrible death after this weekend. Okay, I don't really want him dead, but I do wish he would suffer a bit. - Iby Will - Hockey
