         Several posts last week noted that scheduling of high profile
         Holiday Tournaments seemed to be in decline.  The Badger Show-
         down, Mariucci Classic, and GLI were going strong in the West,
         but the Eastern Tournaments (RPI and Syracuse Invitationals)
         were fading.  It seems now that UNH and UVM have cooked up a
         revolving answer to the dearth of Holiday Hockey in the East:
         UNH will likely host UVM, Notre Dame and North Dakota at the
         Whittemore Center in December, 1999, followed by UNH + a CCHA
         and WCHA team TBA at Gutterson Fieldhouse in December, 2000.
         Tradition takes time to establish, but IMHO this has all the
         makings of a terrific annual inter-league test ....
 
 
And let's not forget the new Governor's Cup tournament, matching the state
schools from VT (UVM), NH (UNH), ME (Maine), & MA (UMass-Lowell).  It will
be held this year 11/27-11/28 at UML's Tsongas Arena.  Since it's only a
few years old, I don't know if this tourny qualifies as a high profile
event yet, but like Jim said "tradition takes time to establish".
