     I got the same impression a couple of weeks ago when I was watching it
for only the second time.  Because I was on vacation, and college hockey
isn't really followed in my area, I was looking forward to watching to the
program when I saw that it was going to be on one of my cable channels.
 
     Needless to say, I was quite disappointed after trying to find some
information on the ECAC, and they almost didn't even mention it.  The only
mention we received was at the very end when they announced the player of
the week, who happened to be from Harvard.  Had that not been the case,
I wouldn't have heard *anything* about the ECAC that week.
