St. Lawrence 2 vs. Cornell 3 1/21/17

Maybe watching Cullen slow down as he aged inspired the move to an earlier start time, although it was apparent that nothing could speed him up.

Not smoking three packs a day could have helped.

Cullen was pretty skilled, but certainly not a skating dynamo. I do remember one instance (I don't remember the opponent) where he deked past 2 or 3 defenders and scored a gorgeous goal. Trotsky, do you have any recollection of that?

I recall his passing more than anything else.  That and his outright refusal to get back on the play.  :-)

Cullen had the best hands of any player I have ever seen wear the Cornell sweater.  My friends on the women's team at the time said he was probably getting about 25% out of his talent.  But I also get the impression he had a helluva good time for four years.  And he was a highly accomplished player.  But from many accounts he could have been truly great.

going back thru the sun archives the game times in the 80's seemed to be pretty consistent at 7:30.

I dont recall when it switched to 7.

the good ol days.. I also remember extended pre and post game radio shows when BBALL didnt get in the way.

He certainly put his time in at Dunbars

In the early-mid 1990s, the Friday games started at 7:30  and the Saturday games started at 7:00. My guess was for a workday accommodation. I'm pretty sure the switch to having all the games start at 7pm happened in the late-90s.

I'm fairly certain that the change to 7 for all games came in the 2000 season. I'd love to see Friday games pushed back again.

I do!!  A thing of beauty!!!!

Its interesting to look across hockey and see the majority of the games start around 7.   someone made the decision across all the leagues that 7 is the way to go.
