Enjoyed our annual trip to the CCHA playoffs except for the game
results that left a lot to be desired - :(
It was good seeing HOCKEY-L'er Glen Keeney again, as well as various
other nice people from Lake State and Bowling Green that we had an
opportunity to talk to.
Two questions for the CCHA administrators...
1. Why is the CCHA the only league that doesn't include a consolation
game in the league playoffs? Reasons have been given in the past
on Hockey-L, including too expensive, too much fighting. If true,
why don't the other leagues have these same problems??? Bring back
those consolation games!
2. Why can't the canned loudspeaker music be turned off for the
CCHA playoffs at the Joe? The program stated that the CCHA wanted
to include full participation by the schools, including pep bands.
Prior to and during the first game, we listened to
canned music while the bands from Bowling Green and
Lake State just mostly sat there (presumably
waiting for a chance to play). These bands got very little chance
to play as the canned music was almost always on. Even after we
we complained to arena officials nothing changed.
During the second game, it was more of the same. At times, the
Michigan State and Michigan bands had to play over the sound of
the canned music. And the same thing continued to happen in the
championship game as well.
Being MSU fans we sat behind the Laker band during the final game
and particularly enjoyed their playing the MSU Fight Song (twice).
Why do we need canned music at all when we have the great pep bands
of the CCHA schools?
