In response to John Eric Moore's comments: First of all I would say you know
little about college hockey or the league Merrimack plays in.  What did
Merrimack College do this year?  Well they secured home ice in a league where
they have the smallest, worst facilities of any school in the league.  Being
a private division 2 institution they have less resources than any other
school in Hockey East.  They have one of the smallest enrollments in Hockey
East.  The assistant coaches are not full time like other schools in the
league.  They don't have the recruiting advantage of the Beanpot, nor are
they the only show in town like Maine or UNH.  Simply put for Merrimack to
finish with home ice is nothing short of spectacular.  So your right, yor
opionion was not only unpopular but WRONG!
