On another CU goaltending note, Jean-Marc Pelletier will be in Binghamton Wednesday night as the Springfield Falcons come to town.  Pelletier stared the season with Lowell, but was acquired by the Falcons in a trade between the NHL affiliates' clubs.

He played in the ECHL All-Star Game Tuesday night in Estero, FL.  I believe they said he was a member of the Pee Dee Pride (Florence, SC).

A little late with my well wishes for this year's eventual NCAA champions, but better late than never!

While calling my game in Rochester last Friday night, I had the forum up on my laptop following the updates during commercial breaks (I also refuse to pay for internet feeds;-) otherwise I would have been listening during those breaks).

The past four months have been a total blur being part of a start-up operation on the pro level.  As I result, I'm not sure if I ever did bid Cornell Hockey and its fans a farewell, but if this is redundant, please forgive me.  I've meant to post a "goodbye" of sorts on here for awhile to all of the Cornell Hockey diehards that I've gotten know in some capacity over my 12 years of calling Big Red hockey.  Whether it was a brief conversation at the rink, an e-mail correspondance, or just being the voice that brings the game home to you on the radio/internet, it was great to see and hear from the crazies that are "The Faithful".

It was with mixed feelings that I left, especially knowing how talented this squad would be in the coming season.  But opportunities like this do not come along everyday.  It's literally a 24/7 job and I'm loving most every minute of it.  It sure beats a real job!

Our playoffs will be starting up during the Frozen Four in Buffalo, but, if for some strange reason my calendar is open on April 12th and my favorite college team is still playing, I'll utilize everything in my power to be at HSBC Arena as the Red takes a shot at the national title.

Thanks for the comments throughout various threads (although using the word "legendary" in front of my name is flattering but not appropriate).  It was my pleasure being a Big Red fan (although not trying to be too much of a homer) that had the fortune of being the Voice of Big Red Hockey for a bit.  While nobody likes change, welcome Adam warmly.  Is he different than me?  Sure is...but life would be boring if we were all the same.  I wasn't anything close to Roy Ives, but folks eventually warmed up to me and my style (although, talking to some, it took about 8 years to finally say they liked my call...true, firsthand story from a long time Big Red fan admitting that to me several years back).  Take care of Adam...his passion for Big Red hockey runs deep.  You're in good hands (and voice) with him.
