There are groups working at the grass roots levels to get people into
hockey. The San Jose Bay area has one of the largest populations of
amateur players in the united states, and the biggest limitation this
area has is lack of ice to play on. Everything's booked 23 hours a
day, 7 days a week.

This just out: it has been determined that Salad Forks are not Y2K
compatible, and won't work after 12/31/1999. Until cutlery
manufacturers can issue appropriate patches for their hardware, users
are encouraged to purchase a set of chopsticks. The fallback plan,
using the dinner fork for the salad, has been rejected as tacky.
