Just some notes fromJ-18 (that ain't no windchill, baby) Minnesota, where we
have time for this, since the University is closed down due to dangerous (-58
right now) windchills:

I don't think so.  I THINK it's only a "practice", as far as the NC$$ is
concerned, if there's a coach there.  If the players want to get together and
skate, the NC$$ won't (and shouldn't) stop them.  (But I could be wrong...)

Didn't mean to CORRECT you, just add  another viewpoint.  Carol had watched the
Friday game on TV and saw the Saturday game in person, but although the game was
refereed much the same Saturday, she got an entirely different impression of the
officiating.  A lot of the uncalled stuff that led to all the trouble was
after/behind the play, so she hadn't seen it on TV, and it probably wouldn't be
part of the radio play-by-play you heard, either.
