Will Lynah be like a crowded bar or nightclub?

A fan gets tossed out, one more gets in so long as it's 3836 plus standees, players, coaches, rink officials?

After Moulson's hat trick a few years ago at Lynah East, the Harvard fan threw his hat on the ice about 5 mintues later trying to get a delay of game called on Cornell.

Needless to say the refs didn't bite.

Best way to avoid getting kicked out, tell your section to show up for intros or at least stand with other people. Otherwise, you'll stand out like a sore thumb.

OTOH, during one of my years on the hill, Brock Tredway got a hat trick against Sucks at Lynah.  The zebras DID call a delay of game for it.  Fortunately we were up something like 9-3 at that point (final was 11-4 as I recall).

Calling a delay of game for delivering hats to the rink after a hat trick is un-American.

This was the headlining image for the no-fish warning on cornellbigred.com--not only is it a stupid graphic, it's OSU on the ice with Cornell.  ::screwy::

I always thought it was un-Canadian too.  But in the spirit of the Olympics I think we should deem it uncivilized on the international level.  Let's get a ruling from the UN before throwing hats!  Fish on the otherhand are fair game, with or without the appropriate stamp on our license.;-)
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."

[quote billhoward]Calling a delay of game for delivering hats to the rink after a hat trick is un-American.[/quote]I got thrown out of MSG for throwing a hat for a Dick Bertrand hat trick in Dec. '69.  The hat didn't even hit the ice - Dick caught it on his way back to the bench.  I tried to explain to the security guard that it was a hockey tradition.  He said "maybe that's okay where you come from."  I said "I come from New York."  Later that season, they let Ranger fans throw all sorts of crap on the ice (and at Derek Sanderson) during their playoff series with the Bruins.  Anyway, it was the 3rd period of the 2nd game of a doubleheader - I walked right back in a different exit and went back to my seat.

Canada is part of the Americas. Mexico, too, although I dont think they qualified for Torino.

Quotehttp://www.cstv.com/sports/m-hockey/stories/021606aaj.html With the stakes so high, Cornell is trying to minimize the risks taken in Saturday's game against the Crimson (5:30 p.m. ET, CSTV). A letter circulated by the Cornell ticket office warned that any delay of game due to the traditional throwing of fish at the Harvard players before the game will result in a five-minute major penalty to the Big Red, while any fan who is seen throwing a fish will be removed from Lynah Rink.
 

There is no provision in the rulebook for a major for delay of game. The ECACHL office declined to comment for this article, and league supervisor of officials Butch Bellemore could not be reached as of the publishing deadline. However, it is clear that the Big Red is taking every precaution to maximize the team's chances of winning a fifth straight Ivy title and tightening its grip on the ECACHL's top spot.

With the publicity this is getting, such as this CSTV story, what may have been a writer's way to fill a couple paragraphs in his column as deadline approached, now takes on a life of its own. And Cornell may be more inclined to act.

No, no fish sticks.  They aren't good for the ice.
Is next year here yet?

Same with Swedish fish. Swedish fish to eat, okay. Swedish fish to toss, not okay.
