	'Tis an honor to enter the first reply to this note!

	UNION won its second ECAC Div I hockey game last
weekend, defeating Princeton 3-1.  In their second year as a Div I
team,  the skating DUTCHMEN have now tied last year's league win
total.   Onward and Upward! 

MAC2

PS  Despite the euphoria, I've decided NOT to order NCAA final
	four tickets!!  :-)

    	My Alma Mater......University of Maine Black Bears are undefeated
    in Div. 1. Last I knew they were 23-0-1.....ranked #1. This is an
    awesome team that will not be denied the NCAA title in 1993. They got
    ambushed last year in the Final 4.........we won't be fooled again!!!!!

    Ah, the memories of last season while I was still attending
    Northeastern University.  Maine was ranked #1 and came into Matthews
    Arena in Boston with their band.  Before the game I predict to the
    rest of the NU band that we will not only play well (we finished with
    something like 10 wins on the season against a kazillion loses) but
    we would win 4-3.  The two bands battled it out while thousands of
    fans cheered the team (versuses the usual hundreds of fans) while the
    teams battled it out on the ice.  Final score:  4-3 Northeastern and
    the season is salvaged by beating the number 1 team 8^)

    So what happened in the first round of the Beanpot.  Did NU score
    2 thousand goals and kill Harvard for a change 8^)
    
    Marc
    

    
    ...Nope. Northeastern did tie it up. But then Harvard scored 2 goals
    in 58 seconds. 7-5 final. Harvard - B.U. final next Monday.
    
    ...Mel

    #2 Harvard tries to avenge its only loss this year when it takes
    on #4 BU in the Beanpot final. BU done kilt BC 8-2 in the other semi.
    
    I dunno, but the #1 team in the country UMaine, is haid and shoulders
    above anyone else here in the East (HockeyEast and ECAC). Who is
    strong in the WCHA and CCHA?
    
    MikeL
    

    Hahvud first has to play RPI (#2 in the ECAC) at RPI tonight.   RPI
    lost the first game 4-3 in Cambridge.

    RPI, trailing 3-0, scored 6 unanswered goals (1 empty net) to defeat
    the #2 Crimson 6-3... Hahvud whines that they all had the flu.
    
    -Walt

    Was a good game to watch.
    Hahvuhd goalie Tripp Tracy ( his folks oughta be shot), from Grosse
    Point Farms and Milton Academy, came up BIG and backstopped the Crimson
    to the champeenship, breaking BU's three-year winning streak in the
    Beanpot.
    
    Hmmm, affluent Michigan suburb, Milton Academy, Hahvuhd.... this Tripp
    Tracy sure proves the hoi-poloi can get down in the trenches with the
    Great Unwashed and compete ( all said in a clipped George Plimpton-like
    EastCoastsnob accent). Bully!!

    ANyone got the latest polls?  What # is RPI?
    

The poll in this morning's Globe - it might be the Albany poll -
had RPI at #9.  I think they were at #9 last week too.

Walt,

The Globe has the Top 10 in today's paper.  RPI is still at
#9.  I don't know about the rest.

Mike

    In todays newspaper it says that 6 teams will play in th Eastern
    Regionals at the Worcester Centrum. Games will be played on both Friday
    and Saturday nights. Does anybody know how the format for these games
    will work. Are there any byes, does the #1 seed play #6 and so forth.
    I was led to believe that at least 2 games per session will be played.
    Any info would be helpful.
    thanks
    FAST EDDIE

    
    
    I believe that the ECAC and Hockey East Champs get seeds 1 and 2.
    3,4,5, and six are the 2 next best (maybe by selection) from the ECAC and
    Hockey East, and something like the last two qualifiers from the
    West/CHHA. 
    
    On Friday, #3 plays #6 and #4 plays #5; the two winners play #1 and #2 
    on Saturday.  The Saturday winners advance to the NCAA final four.
    
    This may not be entirely correct, but I think it's close.
    
    FWIW, the Worcester area is so devoid of college hockey
    coverage/knowledge that my wife's place of employment has been
    advertising their group ticket sales indicating that the teams were
    chosen (this was a month ago at least), and that UMass would be
    playing!
    
    We get ZERO Division 1 college hockey coverage in the paper.  I used to
    call the sports editor once a week pleading for scores, to no avail...

    No,  I didn't get the final on the radio but when
    I went to bed it was 2-1 Lake ST. midway through
    the second.  If somebody will beat Maine it will
    be Lake ST., they looked real good last night.

    BU lost to Lake Superior State 6-1

    Maine ws outplayed for the first two periods, but turned it up in the
    3rd. They had a goal waved off, but it was definetly a goal on the
    replay. The Maine forward did the old wrap around from behind the net,
    squeezed by the MS defenseman and slid it past the goalie, far post.
    In the heat of the play the net was dislodged and rocked forward, but
    it never came the pegs. It just tilted forward as the puck went
    throught the crease, over the goal line and out the other side.
    
    I have never seen that happen before, but on the replay (The real play
    happened so fast that it looked like there was a hole in the net) it
    clearly showed the net tilting forward and the puck going out the back.
    The ref was out of position, and I doubt he could really see from where
    he was, so it was a waved off goal for Maine. 
    
    
    I thought the MS goalie was superb, he was challenging all of Maines
    shooters, comming out and he seemed to be saying to them, give it your
    best, because I'M on my game tonight boys. He made some great stops.
    
    BU was Outclassed, outhustled, outplayed. Should be a good final.

    Paul Kryga (SP) from Maine is a great Hockey player. He's only 18, a
    Freshman, and he's got gobs of talent. Fast Skater. 96 points on the
    season and he missed 6 games. There was talk of the Hobey Baker award,
    but I doubt thet would give it to a freshman. Will David Sacco ever
    graduate ?

        About David Sacco graduating.  I'm sure he is a senior this year
    (although I might be confussing him with his brother Joe who also
    played at BU and now is in the Maple Leaf organization.)

Cornell completed its investigation of its hockey program, and forwarded the results
to the Ivy League and NCAA.  The possible violation involves a tradition where some
of the team members live rent-free with local families during the school year.

    Does anyone have the current standings of WCHA?  You may just list the
    Teams point if you want.

    spent the first month in last place.

    Glad to see Jack Parker eat $hit after mouthing off to the BC squad. As
    bad as the BC team is (I don't think they hav a chance against Harvard)
    The cockey Jack Parker must play the consolation game. That ranks right
    up there with the womens Beanpot tourney.

    
    Speaking of the beanpot and those teams, what are the season standings
    for the ECAC and more specifically is NU still above .500 
    
    Marc
    

    NU is in Hockey (L)east, not in ECAC...
    

�    The cockey Jack Parker must play the consolation game. That ranks right
�    up there with the womens Beanpot tourney.
    
    And what ranking scale is that?

    Beanpot is a great place for upsets.  BC is certainly an underdog vs
    the balling thunder of the crimson caterbridgians (last was to see if I
    could get Tommy to hurl in his office), but they never (hardly) won it
    when Snooks had Sheehy and Stevens and other all America loaded teams.
    
    Harvard does not like to lose to bc in a sport where they have a chance
    to beat em.  Believe it or not they used to play a lot in basketball
    including some of the earlier versions of the beanpot basketball
    tournement (same 4 but I believe they also tried it with umass).
    
    There were some fairly decent bc-nu matchups especially when they
    played in the pre-mathews gym, seating 400, standing 3000.
    
    I just wish I could remember some of 'em

    BC wins 2-1 in OT. I'd call it an upset but you couldn't tell by the
    way BC played. Both goalies were outstanding and Israel (Crimson)
    goalie had the pipes help him out in OT. Winning goal looked harmless
    at its outset; wrist shot on right boards screened by defenseman. 
    Just eluded the Harvard goalie. Game over, Eagles get first Beanpot
    champeenship in 11 years.
    
    Both BC goals (Chase and Ashe) scored by Western Mass products.
    Thought I heard the announcers say that both Chase and Ashe were
    from West Springfield (or one was from Wilbraham).
    
    Guess I'll go et mah crow bagel...
    
    MikeL
    

Is BC the team that in many years was favored to win the Beanpot but
always lost??

The Crazy Met

    Well if you look at the nationally ranked teams from 70s and 80s that
    rarely won the beanpot it would appear you are right.

	This weekend the Colorado College Tigers captured the WCHA title for the
first time in 37 years . As of saturday they were tied with Wisconsin, but the
Badgers lost to St Cloud St. and the Tigers tied U of Denver.  

 Cadzilla2

    Does anyone have the playoff info for the WCHA?  I take it the Gophs
    came in second place?  Isn't their playoff in Milwaukee.  Imagine, my
    Chicago paper sees it fit to not enter ANYTHING regarding college
    hockey other than CCHA.  No scores, nothing.
    
    
    Spud

    
    Spud,
    
    	Yup, the Gophs took 2cd.  They were one point behind CC and one
    	point ahead of Wisconsin.
    
    	The best of 3 matchups are:  Michigan Tech at CC, Denver U. at
    	Minnesota, North Dakota at Wisconsin, Minnesota-Duluth at St. 
    	Cloud St., Alaska-Anchorage at Northern Michigan.  Host teams can
    	start their series either Thursday or Friday.
    
    Claybone

    Top 4 seeds advance in the ECAC's.  Hahvud over Cornell, Clarkson over
    mumble, RPI over Union and Brown over Vermont.
    
    Union-RPI series was great.  Union won game 1, 1st win ever since they
    went to Div. 1.  RPI won the last 2 games, 8-3 in the third game.
    
    RPI has been asked to join Hockey East.  It's about 50-50 they will.
    

    For the first time I can remember, the East gets more teams in the NCAA
    than the West...
    
    I think the draw in Albany is
    
    UNH vs. RPI (#6 West seed) -> Winner to face Hahvud
    Wisconsin vs. N. Michigan -> Winner to face BU
    
    West I don't remember, but UMass-Lowell and Northeastern were sent
    West.
    

That was a pretty good game on NESN last night between Minnesota and
St. Cloud.

I guess I don't understand what all happens to get into the NCAA for
hockey, because I know some guy from Colorado was supposed to be all
happy that Minnesota won, and yet St. Cloud, who lost the final game
didn't get in....   Go figure.

Some other guy from Michigan State(?) was hopin' to get in too....

    
    Colorado College and St. Cloud were two teams on the bubble.  Colorado
    College for winning the regular season WHCA (sp?) title and losing in a
    very early round, while St. Cloud was an average team that might win
    the title.  So literally, St. Cloud missed their chance and Colorado
    College slipped into the picture.  At least that is how I understand
    the situation.

Oh, I understand it now.  I couldn't get enough information from the
broadcast to see how Colorado fit into the picture.

Yeah, St. Cloud missed, literally by about an inch.


'Saw    

    
    	The local media is calling CC's snub a travesty.  My opinion
    	is they shouldn't have lost to the last place team in the WCHA
    	in the first round of the friggin' conference tournament!  They
    	only have themselves to blame.

Did Haavad win the ECAC tournament?  Did they beat RPI?

    Harvard beat RPI 3-0 in the ECAC final.  If RPI can get by UNH,
    they'll have a chance to make up for it in the NCAA in front of
    what should be a home crowd in Albany.
    
    Mike

	I heard from an insider at UNH that several of their hockey players
	could be looking at a major suspension for beating the tar out of
	someone at a party.  From what I heard it could put a major hurt on 
	the team.


	billl

    I heard the RPI-Hahvud game was real chippy too.  I guess Israel
    slashed one RPI player and kicked another in the head after a pile up
    in front of the net.

    I'm confuseded,,
    
    Whatever happened to the Wolverines of Michigan? I thought they
    were #1 or 2 all year.. I know they were supposed to play Western
    Michigan in a playoff in the CCHA. Too many dadgum state_a_Michigan
    teams to git this straight(Michigan, Western Michigan, Northern
    Michigan, Michigan St). Don't tell me Michigan Tech also made the
    'offs..
    
    Hey, if no "Michigan" team wins the crown, cain we say the state
    underachieved?
    
    MikeL
    

    Michigan is the #1 seed out west...
    

    Wasn't the UNH hockey team in trouble for something else a couple of
    weeks ago?

    Wasn't that Maine?

    UMass-Lowell got screwed big-time.  They were in the finals of the

    I heard Mom's son got soundly booed when he get his award last
    Saturday.  I haven't talked to Hahvud alum about it though...

    Re: .57
    
    St. Cloud, Minnesota and Wisconsin are the three WCHA teams heading to
    the NCAA's.  One reason they may have took St. Cloud is because the
    top four teams all ended up so closely together.  So even though St.
    Cloud finished fourth, they were only a few points out of first.  They
    did beat my Gophs in the last regular season game to prevent us from
    winning the title.  That and their very good showing in the stupid
    post-season tournament put them in.
    
    It'd be fun if the Gophs could win it all in St. Paul.

    Finals are in St. Paul, not Albany.  The East half of the draw was
    in Albany (BU/Harvard) and the West half was in East Lansing
    (Minnesota/Lake Superior)...
    
    Can't tell you about Michigan since I didn't see that half of the draw.

    Anyone have an update on the Harvard-Lake Superior St semifinal
    (began at 2 PM).

    Even with my freshly printed master's degree in geography from MrTU,
    I cain't locate the whereabouts of Lake Superior St.( yeah yeah, it's
    on Lake Superior). Is it in Michigan upper Peninsula, Wisconsin or
    Minnesota?
    
    MikeL
     

	pretty sure it's MuP.

Yea, Lake State is on the MuP, where men are men, and sheep are nervous...

    Jeezus dem sheep gotsta dodge both Lake Superior Staters and
    Michigan Techers.... Don't tell me, Northern Michigan is also
    on the Peninsula...??
    
    Anyhoo, just say no to another Michigan school champeenship(Yo Walt
    8^), GO BU!!!!
    
    MikeL
    

I don't think Tech is in the MuP...

    Huh?
    Michigan Tech is in Houghton/Mifflin Mich on the MuP, no?
    
    Where's my T roadmap....
    
    MikeL
    

Ah dunno fer sure - yer probably right, Mikey...

    Whatsa MuP?

Michigan Upper Peninsula - the part of Michigan that is separated from 
the rest of the state by the lake.  It's equally far north as much of Ontario.

    I thought it was in the MuP
    

MuP update...

According to Dr. A, Michigan Tech is in the MuP.

According to the radio and newspapers, NCAA Hokey Champion, Lake Superior State 
is on the MuP.

Dunno about N. Michigan, have to consult Mr. T on that.

    Lake Superior State blows out BU to take the National Hockey
    championship.

Boston's college teams have been doing quite well this year. The downside
would be that they seem to remind me of the Philadelphia pro teams in
1980. All of 'em got into the finals, but except for the Phillies none
of them won the champiosnhip.

The Crazy Met

    All three (Michigan Tech, Lake Supe, Northern Michigan) is on the Mup.
    Go up the major highway linking the lower to upper Peninsula, go
    straight north to Sault St Marie and youse at Lake Superior St;
    go west young main and in a coupla hours youse in Northern Michigan;
    go further north/west to a little pensinsula and youse in Houghton
    where Michigan Techers reside.. this from mah MrT geography pamphlet
    which refers to all three universities as residing in "mildewed
    Eastern seaboard ports in the Wisconsin upper peninsula".

    Incredible 3-overtime game between Maine and Michigan.  I happened to
    see the end of the third period and the overtimes.  Incredible action
    in the first overtime - both goalies (Allison for Maine; a freshman
    named Turco for Michigan) were terrific.  Pace slowed a bit in the
    second OT, but both goalies made incredible saves on breakaways.  Then,
    at the beginning of the third OT, Maine had a faceoff in the Michigan
    end.  The puck went into a tangle of players, then popped out to the
    guy who took the faceoff for Maine.  He was alone in front and made no
    mistake.  Michigan goalie (who finished with 50 saves) didn't have a
    chance.  Maine goalie had 47 saves.
    
    In the other semifinal, BU scored four unanswered goals in the 3rd
    period for a 7-3 win over Minnesota.

    Hasn't been that much activity in this topic this year.  Did all the
    college hockey fans leave or something?

Little known fact that some of you might or might not know.

There's a freshman hockey player for BU named Chris Drury, who's already 
won a world championship in his lifetime.

He went to Fairfield Prep (to play hockey, eh) but his hometown is Trumbull
CT.

A few years back he was on the Trumbull Little League team that won the 
Little League World Series.....


In case you get on Jeopardy and need to know....

    Drury has 12 goals and 13 assists this year as a freshman for BU.
    
    NAZZ

>         -< Pretty impressive - I wonder if he still plays baseball? >-
    
    I seem to recall reading that Drury gave up baseball-- his early-age 
    dominance at that sport didn't extend into adulthood.  Either that or
    it was something about being stiffed out of a uniform shirt...

Lsat summer they had a front page article in the Hartford Courant about the
team, five years later.

Matt Sewell was the kid who got screwed out of the shirt.

I believe that Matt ended up with lots of academic honors.  Some of the
kids still hung out together.

Chris Drury, for all of your speculation, just decided he liked hockey
better than baseball....  Lucky for BU, eh?

I don't think I did, but I've been pretty busy so maybe I just missed it.

    I believe that Mr. T hung the moniker "Matt the moocher" on Matt
    Sewell.  Boy those were some priceless notes....sigh

	Hey, that college powerhouse, Colorado College, is ranked #1 in the
	country.  They're undefeated so far this season (three ties though).
	Not bad for a school with 1900 sutdents.  I think they just passed
	Boston Unversity after BU lost to Clarkson.

	Kevin

>    Beanpot starts tonight:
    
Fartin' starts tomorrow....

(Sorry couldn't resist)

    
    	Does anybody know how they seed the teams each year? Do they
    play rematches of last years final/consolation games, in this
    years 1st round? Thus, ensuring that there is at least 1 new team
    in the finals each year.
    
    Ron
    

    No there's no seeding, they just rotate the semifinal matchups.  Seeding
    rarely has held although BU's decades long strength has resulted in the
    lion's share of triumphs.  Northeastern had its problems for awhile but
    has held its own for a decade.
    
    The prior final has no bearing on the matchup and if BU and BC were
    ranked 1 and 2 they could easily play in the semifinal.
    
    Since college hockey is brought up what are the prospects for UMass as
    a major division I power in the future?

    
    Cornell - 1996 ECAC Champions!
    
    Does anyone know for certain if they won the Ivy League title?

    How good is Umass-Lowell they play the local liberal arts college
    This week in the Final 4 of College Hockey ? 
    
    CC is a fast, fast, fast team. They could be beat by size. 
    DU smoked them twice this season by hard checking and not getting into
    a power play situation where CC could just dominate. 
    

    
    
     Umass-Lowell is a pretty good hockey team.  The beat BU once during
    the season which is quite a feat.  CC will be goin down.

    Isn't Vermont the other east team.  I think Lowell got beat in a close
    one in the quarters.  Of course Vermont is a suburb of Lowell so you're
    close.

     Yup, it was Colorado College over UMass-Lowell in the regional,
     second round.  Vermont beat Lake Superior State to get to the final
     four.

     Colorado College vs Vermont, Boston University vs Michigan in hockey's
     final four.

     Well I hope CC brings home the gold, its been 39 years....
    
      Tim

	Well, CC wins in 2 OT, 4-3.

      Saw some of the game and listened to the rest.  I didn't catch if
    they fixed the coolant leak that was caused by some goober rupturing a
    pipe when drilling through the ice to set the goals.
    
     Towards the end of regulation, the radio boy said there was alot of
    standing water on top of the ice (how does water stand?) at the CC end.
    
      Congrats from a closet hokey fan!

     BU choked

    
    For those of you that missed it, the final goal of the CC-VT game was
    scored with 29 seconds in 2OT with some controversy.  A CC player was
    doing his impression of a famous Bruin hall of fame player (diving)
    when the puck deflected off his hand.  Another CC player put the puck
    into the net after this deflection.  VT contends that the deflection
    was intential and therefore the play should have been whistled dead. 
    The CC team contends that the player was out of control and it was not
    intential.
    
    The refs, realizing that Tommy said that referees don't decide many
    games, pretended not to notice.

     Get real. Get serious. Get help. 
    
    

      I read that it deflected off of the vermint goalie...  I haven't seen
    any replays.
    
      Tim

    
    Tim, you are correct, there were two different deflections.  One off
    the hand of the CC player, one off the vermont goalie, with some action
    between them.
    
    Marc
    

    so who won the hockey final???
    

Michigan won in OT.

Mike

    BC beat Northeastern, 4-1
    BU beat Harvard, 7-1

    
    
    Colorado College and Wisconsin set a new NCAA record for game length,
    playoff game length and longest shutout. At 4OT 129 min 32sec, it
    surpassed the old mark by 20 minutes.
    
    The game ended  when a rebound was finally slapped past the Badger goalie 
    who finished with 76 saves. 
    
    CC goalie Lambert now holds the NCAA's longest shutout mark after
    holding on for the 1-0 victory. The victory moves CC into the final
    five tourny for the WCHA title. 

    The Badger goalie ought to sue his team for lack of support.
