OK, this has nothing to do with college hockey, but it was an exciting
event for me, so I wanted to post about it.
I figured I would share this special moment with all of you. I was
selected to officiate one of the games in the New York Rangers 1994
Training Camp up in Glens Falls, NY. They played 2 30-minute halves. I
was a linesman for the first half, and a referee for the second half. I
also had the opportunity to talk with Brian Leetch for a bit, since he
comes from Cheshire, CT, about 10 minutes from my hometown, North Haven.
A friend also took a picture of me with Brian, so once it gets developed,
I'll scan it so I can send it out over the net.
This was definitely the best quality hockey I have ever officiated
(wouldn't that be obvious?)! And during my stint as the ref, I had no
problem keeping up with the big guys, though I was pretty dead by the end
of the half. Attached I have included a listing of the four
team rosters. My game was Team 3 versus Team 4. Note that Mark Messier
was not there, since he has not finalized his contract.
I hope everyone is doing well. I think I'm riding on a natural high right
now! Take care....... -- kennyz
