OT -- Fans on the field

[David Harding]

[q]There was a time when fans "knew" they were at risk sitting behind the goal at a hockey game. A couple fatalities later, including sadly one at Cornell, the presence of nets indicates the laws of responsibility have changed.[/q]  Shucks, 40+ years ago there wasn't even glass around the sides at Lynah.

A Cornell student, I believe named Chris Black during the 1976-77 season, was struck by a puck and died. That's why Cornell has had netting for as long as most people can remember.
