Today is April Fools Day.  Based on some previous posts, let's try today to post the best plausible college hockey headlines (and a brief blurb -- sort of like a blog entry) that are completely false.  Your guidelines are "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!"  

My entry:

ECAC Moves Championship venue to RPI Fieldhouse
"Faced with disappointing ticket sales at the recent ECAC championships and a scheduling conflict at the Times Union Center in Albany, the ECAC has moved their 2009 men's hockey championships to the Houston Fieldhouse on the Campus of Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute.

"This is a one year experiment," said ECAC Hockey Commissioner Steve Hagwell.  "We were told by the Times Union people that they have booked a tractor pull event the same weekend as our championship.  We had a (handshake) agreement, but I guess they thought they could make more money with the tractors.  The Houston Fieldhouse is a historic building and is still centrally located to our schools and their fan base.  We are currently working with our broadcast partners to finalize camera locations, etc at the Fieldhouse and to arrange a title sponsor."

Other venues examined were Utica, Syracuse and Springfield, MA.
