I was. One of many cutbacks we've had to make in these uncertain times.

Travis Roy, who was paralyzed when he crashed into the boards during his very first shift as a BU freshman, died today at the age of 45. He was an inspirational figure after the accident, and this is such sad news.

I was visiting Boston at the time and happened to be watching that game on TV.  I think I was as stunned as the fans in the arena.  What a shocking and tragic moment.  But in spite of the injury, he went on to be a role model and inspiration for many.  RIP, Travis.

A few articles about Travis from the Boston Globe:

Travis Roy would be the exception about never feeling sorry for BU hockey. He WAS an inspiration.

I guess go play Juniors? where else can they go?

I assume there are no NCAA transfer waivers due to one's school cancelling the season? Harvard's big recruit who jumped to Michigan appears to have made a smart decision (from an actually playing hockey perspective anyways ). Will be interesting to see if there are any changes in recruiting trends as a result of all this.

The factory schools will play, I assume.  North Dakota wins another title playing in a 12-team NC$$ field.

Savory is going to UML.

There were 2 Big Ten hockey games on TV last night.  Why didn't they cancel?

Need to play football for the TV money. And once you're playing football, it's hard to say no hockey
