Title: DVD of 1969 nat'l championship vs. Denver available
Post by: sah67 on July 10, 2008, 08:14:03 PM
This site was discussed a few months ago, and although they were taking requests for lots of games, they only had the triple OT game against Wisconsin actually available.  I just received an Email that they have now made available the 1969 national championship game against Denver for $24.99.  

The price seems steep but based on the clip they provide on the page, the quality seems pretty okay:

Quality does look good.  1970 would "look" even better.;-)

Wonder why it says the game location was the U.S. Air Force Academy, when the game was played at the Broadmoor World Arena.

Dunno.  Did the NCAA have "hosts" for tournaments back then, and someone confused "host" for location?  Or maybe someone saw Colorado Springs and figured it must be the Academy.  Strange.

[Edit:  Accuracy does not seem to be an NCAA strong suit.  The "teaser" video clip for the 1976 Cornell-Maryland championship game shows Cornell's Robert Henrickson scoring a goal against Hopkins goalie Mike Federico.::screwy::]

Nor, for that matter, does mastery of the English language:

QuoteDenver beats Cornell 4-3 to repeat as National Champions. Denver's squad was made of mostly Canadien born players while Cornell's roster was entirely made up of Canadien born players. Following the Championship game the NCAA Ice Hockey Committee recommend the number of foreign born students per team be limited.

Do half-pregnant Canadian women give birth to mostly Canadian born children? ::doh::

Sent them a message via "Contact us" and they corrected it.  Have since done the same with the short clip from the 1976 game (shows action against Johns Hopkins, not Maryland), and we'll see if they fix that.

So they finally got smart enough to send emails to the people who asked to be contacted. I put my name down for the 1985 NCAA championship game and only found out that it was available when someone on USCHO mentioned that they did not notify people when videos were available, causing me to check.

I'm still waiting for the 1967 NCAA title game.   It's on their list but not yet available.
