ERIK;
 
     SORRY - DID NOT MEAN TO INSINUATE THAT THE WCHA IS A "ROGUE"
CONFERENCE AND CONDONES SUCH PLAY.  WHAT I MENT WAS THAT BECAUSE
THIS INCIDENT OCCURED IN THE WCHA - THE WCHA WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT
ITSELF IF THE INCIDENT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT.  THE MAIN POINT I WAS TRYING
TO PUT FORTH WAS THAT THE WCHA HAS TO LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE, NOT
JUST THE ACTION ITSELF.  IF THIS ISN'T JUST AN ISOLATED ACCIDENT
THEN LET SOMETHING GOOD FOR COLLEGE HOCKEY COME OUT OF IT.  ABOVE ALL
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEBER THAT HOCKEY IS A FAST PACED, CONTACT
SPORT IN WHICH PEOPLE DO GET HURT.
