Brian -
 
  I'll be sure and encourage them, but only if you agree when you send
them YOUR encouragement to suggest that they air more reports about
COLLEGE HOCKEY, not just the 4 Boston schools.  People who aren't familiar
with our sport don't know that there's any college hockey around Boston
except for the damn Beanpot!!  While it's great they give coverage to BU,
BC, Harvard and (occasionally) Northeastern, they should know that they're
a New England station, not a Boston station.  Cover more games and more
teams.  Channel 4 (anyone know their EMAIL address?) seems to give the
best college hockey coverage [Scott Wahle did a nice piece on Lowell last
week], but still not enough.
 
  Same goes for the Boston papers.  If you take away their readership
OUTSIDE of Boston itself, they are nothing!  Cover all the teams and the
sport in general.  Brian, as a BU fan, you might feel this way, but as a
fan of the sport and of Lowell, it's infuriating!!
