I have a co-worker who went to Clarkson, graduated about 1972.   He
claims that he never went to hockey games.  This despite the fact
that he is a native of the North Country (Watertown).  He didn't
flunk out. :-)
 
I am thankful that he doesn't care about Clarkson's hockey team, or I
would be hearing about it continuously.
