NPR's Only A Game ran a nice story this morning about Reggie and
Reenie Baker, who were pioneers of women's hockey at Cornell and
Boston College:

>"I would go down at night, after I got home from school, and I would
>just practice and practice with the puck," Reggie says. "And then in
>the summer, I was on the driveway with a hockey stick and a tennis
>ball. I just knew from very, very young that I was gonna start the
>team at Cornell. I just never doubted that."
>"And so Reggie and I went to Boston for the ECAC finals for the
>men's hockey, and Boston College beat Cornell," Reenie says. "And I
>said, 'I'm gonna go apply at that school. I think that might be a
>place I could start a team.' And that's, honestly, the reason I went
>to Boston College."
