Well isn't that just like a BC coach, to offer something and then not
come through!  I seem to recall they used to do that with scholarships.
;-)

I remember meeting Bill that afternoon.  Bill was wearing his Marist
College cap.  My then 3 year old had a great time that day, and the BC
players were very nice to hand Sam and Bill's son some pucks.
Afterwards we went to Faneuil Hall to see Chris Drury win the Hobey
Baker award.

The open practice sessions have become an annual affair at the Frozen
Four.  I have no reason to believe this year will be any different.

Subject: Frozen Four Practices was Re: a little brown envelope

Does it happen to mention if practices will be open to the public and
what
time they will be? Has anyone seen that info elsewhere?

The last time the Frozen Four was in Boston I took my 5 year old to the
practices (and ran into Ed Moller who was doing likewise as I recall.)
My
lad, wearing his best Providence Hockey sweatshirt (the one with the
Zamboni on it) was sitting next to the small circular hole in the glass
that the photographers use.  The BC players kept passing him pucks
through
the opening, to the point that he couldn't carry any more.  We (my son
and
I) thought that was pretty nice.  I don't know if Ed thought much of it,
since he bleeds BU red.  Then Jerry York skated by, pointed at my son,
and
said "get that kid a BC sweatshirt."  I don't know who Jerry was talking
to, but I wanted him to know we still haven't gotten that shirt.
