That's odd...the "official" NC$$ puck I bought at Munn was made in Canada.
Does that mean it can't be used at Minnesota?
 
On "saving Ferris" and comparisons to Kent: Put simply, youth hockey in
Ohio ain't what it is in Michigan. My trips to both arenas reflect this:
Ewigleben Ice Arena (FSU) is filled with banners for the Big Rapids Cardinals,
the BRAHA youth programs, etc. Kent's arena reminded me very much of
a municipal rink. KSU's turnout was respectable (this is back in '92-93,
when they were lower-half CCHA, but competitive), but the area was still
clearly foot/basket/baseball-oriented.
 
Kent's athletic and PR departments have undergone some odd upheavals
within the past year. They hired an assistant SID last summer to handle
primarily basketball and help the GA with hockey, and recently appointed
a new athletic director (so Keith Instone's phone number post is now
slightly outdated).
 
Are the vultures circling? They are, make no mistake, but if all the rumblings
about coach/player dissent are true, I would guess many players were
already looking to leave, and are now relieved that they can keep all their
eligibility.
