  Perhaps I'm in a bit of a crabby mood today, but the tone of your comments
reflects the worse case of "band-wagon" boosterism I can imagine :-(  If
you've enjoyed yourself at past GLI Tournaments, then by all means go again
this year to enjoy yourself with good friends and good college hockey, ir-
respective of what NMU is expected to do this year.  Is NMU hockey only
worth supporting when they're on a pace for another National Championship ??
Supporting "your" team through the lean years as well as the championship
years (if/when they come - there are plenty of DivI schools who've *never*
won an NCAA Title - should we stop rooting for them ??) is what's important
if the sport we all love is to grow and prosper ....
