Here is a reply to two hockey-L questions posed this morning.
Kevin's question: What % of Div. I basketball teams make the
tournament?
answer: 64/300 = 21.33%
For hockey the % is 12/45 = 26.66%.
Ryan's question: Was there a fatality in a high school hockey game
in Wisc in the past few years?
answer: Unfortunately the answer is yes. I believe it was
in 1990. I don't remember the young man's name or school
but I do know it was against a Madison area high school,
Middleton H.S.
A Middleton player took a slapshot and an opponent
slid to try and block the shot. Apparently his shoulder
pads/chest protector slid up and the puck hit his chest
above the heart causing the heart to stop. Sad but true.
