Re: Syracuse... hockey?! - 22 years ago
Keith, the money was a big issue at SU. They even went so far as to tell the team and alums that if they could raise a certain amount of money (I think $2 million) for endowment the would let the team stay. Well it never happened. The idea for upgrading the team started, I think, when they got money for a new rink. However that never had anything to do with a Div. 1 team.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Syracuse... hockey?! - 22 years ago
Forget Syracuse. A few years ago they cut wrestling, due to money and gender equity. If they can't fund wrestling, they won't fund hockey.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Audio link - 22 years ago
Well, I tried the link to thr HVD game and it came on, so I guess it's ok.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: [Lax] Syracuse at Cornell - 22 years ago
If you can find CU let us all know. If not here is link to SU broadcasts: student station (no comercials) official SU broadcast I prefer the student station. It allows me to go commercial free and hear future national sports broadcasters. SU has a host (pun intended) of them from their communications school.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: NCAA Semifinal Times - 22 years ago
Thanks for reminding me, I guess. How could I forget that? Seeing and hearing the Wisconsin fans/band must be how others feel about us.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: NCAA Semifinal Times - 22 years ago
Actually it's not bad the way it is. You watch the first game, get to go out and get some real food, and watch the second game. I like it better than some of the doubleheaders such as LP. There the in-house food is, well, not great. At least at Worcester they had some decent food if you wanted. As another "historical" aside, the switch to the two games on Thursday was well worth it.

I think (hope) this site works as I emailed them about their mistake.by Jim Hyla - Hockey

Check out brassbonanza.com for the best in Whalers memories! I guess we all now know why they couldn't survive in Hartford.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: NCAA/Ivy imbroglio - 22 years ago
Yeah, now I remember some of it. The NCAA was setting up some academic criteria that athletes had to meet. The Ivys complained that their criteria were already more stringent and they wouldn't release their data to meet the NCAA standards. Thus the NCAA wouldn't let them participate. Thanks and if I can ever get to it I'll look up more. Now back to ebay.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Big year for Tech - 22 years ago
Yeah, but we would have gone to NCAA's in '66 as well except for a little NCAA problem. It wasn't a real violation, as I remember it it had something to do with not giving the NCAA our athlete's grades or something. As you can see I don't really remember, and I'm too lazy to get out my old hockey boxes (actually with the construction at my house, I can't get to them easily). Al, can you help out?by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Copy of the game - 22 years ago
I also could not get the CU games. I'm also looking for the LP. Gladly pay, supply tape, etc.. I wonder if CHA could sell copies, but I'm sure that's illegal. If anyone can help, thanks.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Really, REALLY off-topic: Pepsi - 22 years ago
I'd have to say playing hockey ANYWHERE is the happiest place on earth \_... Could we modify that to CU playing anywhere ... There certainly many other "hockey" games that I'd not be happy at.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: SCSU was screwed - 22 years ago
I'm listening to the student station and they said it was in and the crease foul was no where near the action, but that he was in the crease. As was said on USCHO it's a stupid rule which should be dumped, but it is a rule. So, no goal.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Who Will Be Coming to Worcester - 22 years ago
Yeah, hey, I'm coming. And Age is closer than Greg. Sherri and I were trying to figure out when we started the candy. It's since the late-90's, but which year we haven't settled on. No doubt it's gotten bigger recently, but as long as people enjoy it, we'll go with it. So Bear, I'll be there in the CU section. Unfortunately we won't make the first game, so we'll have to look for each other beforby Jim Hyla - Hockey

Re: Travelling Faithful Tournament Protocol - 22 years ago
One thing that I, for one did not like at LP was the Harvard sucks cheer when they were announced as champions, after we got our second place trophy. It seems that we could learn from the players and shake hands at the end of a game and keep the "we're going to beat the h*ll out of you" thoughts silent, even though we all feel it. Another aside from LP. I stayed around after the ceremby Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: No respect at all - 22 years ago
Actually as I remember them mentioning this Sun. eve they only gave those four choices.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: 3 Saturday Tix Available - 22 years ago
I have Sat. tix if anyone needs them.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Summer Project - 22 years ago
Actually, I thought that next year the band should play it and we all can sing.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Pack more than a t-shirt - 22 years ago
Two things. First, we did this whole thing with the BU cheer earlier this season. Just one Screw BU, especially since it fits into their cheer timing, so we can do it during their cheers. I don't think adding a second line fits into their cheer as well. Second, in regards to ETOH, the depressant effect is important if you fall asleep in the snow, or otherwise cannot be aware of your circumstancby Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: want Sat/Sun tickets?? - 22 years ago
I have Sat. & Sun. tix if anyone is interested. Right now I have access to 3, maybe 4, each day. Call me at 315-446-8550.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Statistics - 22 years ago
I don't know why no one has responded to this but I love it. "Meaningless" stats that no one understands, but signify smarts and way toooo much free time.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Who Will Be Coming to Worcester - 22 years ago
I may have extra for Sat. and Sun.. I'll also know Thurs..by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: New Haven Register story on QU v. CU - 22 years ago
Mercyhurst earned the bid a year ago and did the conference proud. The Lakers led Michigan with 10 minutes left in regulation before finally losing 4-3. Probably the most important point of the whole article, at least from our team's perspective.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: Who Will Be Coming to Worcester - 22 years ago
Sherri and I are coming, don't know yet about the younger Steph. She may have a better offer.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
Re: **Tix Available Thru CU** - 22 years ago
Look, why are you all saying you can't sit with CU even though you bought through TMX? The Hvd & UM fans are likely to move on out after the first game, that is if there are any Hvd fans. So move on down and join us.by Jim Hyla - Hockey
