I was lucky enough to go to the Dartmouth-SLU game. It was a well played, well attended exciting game. I got to leave happy since SLU won 2-1 in overtime. I don't ever recall seeing such a large, vocal crowd at Dartmouth from the start to finish of a game. The SLU fans were pretty vocal too.
As for ice resurfaces - Dartmouth held a contest - guess the exact time it will take (the one resurfacer) to resurface the ice.
I think it is easier to call them all Zamboni but I am trying to legally correct. :)
SLU plays Harvard tonight. (I get to go again. :) )
Clarkson visits Dartmouth.
