As for kicking off the season, you could say that the ticket line marks the start of hockey season.  

Also, every year the CHA hosts a "Welcome Back" picnic.  This year it will be held on Oct 5.  I think it's a pot-luck event.  I'm sure you can get more information directly from the CHA.

Delta, I don't know what happened, but your link doesn't work.  ("You do not have permission to access this page.")  I'm logged into USCHO and everything.  Did your thread get deleted?

They don't let you post threads with a poster's name in the subject, in order to cut down on ad hominem attacks.  (I predicted it would get deleted.)  Also, when you do it, you might want to be less of a dick about it than you were in your first try.  (I.e., just yelling at him and calling him names is as dopey as what he said in the first place.  I'd recommend posting the link to the BU article and saying something like "what the hell?")

I was teasing him about it in a "Hey so and so, your mom called..." way... he said in some responses that he totally understood and deserved it. He then IMed me and we chatted a bit. He's a nice kid.

So I didn't mean it seriously and he didn't take it seriously, but I didn't realize I was breaking a golden rule... oh well :-}

[Q] has the red and white game always been the way cornell kicks off its hockey season? [/Q]

Back in my era, when freshman were not eligible to play varsity hockey, the Freshman team played vs. the Varsity, rather than the current Red vs. White.

Was the Frosh-Varsity game competitive or did the difference in experience level win out?  I'll guess that it was competitive simply because I doubt Juniors and Seniors who are pretty assured of a roster/line spot had much incentive to kick the crap out of freshmen.

Then again, I bet some of the freshmen teams in the mid '60s were pretty damn impressive.  So I have no idea what I'm talking about :-)

To give you some idea, Keith, as a freshman Ken Dryden played forward in the Frosh-Varsity game.  Wish I could remember the game when the class of '67 (Ned's first) were freshmen.

[David Harding \'72]

In general I think that there was some attempt by the varsity to put the freshamen in their place.  The frosh, on the other hand, were trying to make their marks.  

I don't remember exactly which year it was, but I think it was probably Ned's first recruiting class, the frosh beat the varsity.  At that point I said to myself, "This is a new era," and it certainly was.

My memory is not what it once was, but it seems to me that the frosh-varsity game tradition ended before the end of the freshman team, vicitim of too many injuries and potential injuries.

Maybe you should take him to the U18 game, so he can appreciate the "Broadway show". :-P

Maybe BU should select Jack Parker to be the next university president.  ;-)
He'd probably be good at raising funds.
