Sorry for the digression from the name discussion..
 
According to a person close to Hockey East official Frank Cole, the NCAA is
going to consider, and likely pass a rule change that will forbid carrying
of the puck on the blade of the stick as Mike Legg did when he scored
against Minnesota in the a 1996 NCAA Quarterfinal game.
 
This source says that Cole believes that a rule change will be enacted
because of the concern (the NCAA's not necessarily Frank Cole) that players
will begin carrying the puck on the blade of the stick all over the ice.
 
Please note, this is not an excuse for some to bash Cole as it isn't his
initive.  This is simply Frank Cole's expert opinion as a Division I
official, as to what the NCAA will do regarding these.  Since it is likely
that Cole has got this feeling from the NCAA itself, please direct your
attacks at the NCAA not Frank Cole.
 
The question is, is such a rule necessary??  Now.. discuss!  :-)
