If the blog entry has been made today, then I would have taken it with a
grain of salt. However it wasn't and unlike The Onion, College Hockey News
is a respected source of news on the D1 college hockey front.
If this was in jest, I expect better of CHN and particularly in Adam. It
was not responsible journalism. You would expect something like this in a
High School newspaper.
