The hotel problem does exist at Lake Placid - I know that
many of the "bigger name" hotels were booked several months
ago, when I called.  There is an International PEE WEE tournament
in town - ALSO - the same weekend !!!   IMHO:
1. Lake Placid is a great place for any college tournament.
   It has a great "atmosphere" for hockey. It's unfortunate
   that a major youth hockey tournament will compete for
   hotel space - but consider the possible "young fans" that
   might get a chance to see a college game.
 
2. Supposedly, the ECAC has reserved blocks of rooms for TEAMS
   and FANS, PARENTS, etc.  I hope they have.   I called
   Mr. Don Cronin , ECAC Coordinator at 1-800-462-6236
   and he had a lot of info.... on rooms, etc.
 
-----------
 
ALSO.......
 
3. The NC$$ D-II championship between Mercyhurst and
   Bemidji St. is this weekend - 3/19 and 3/20.
   in Minnesota.
 
To All - please keep those scores and summaries coming
in this weekend - were up against b-ball - for some
of us your news.. is the only news....  thanks.
