I hope veteran hockey-lers won't mind if I recycle a post of mine from 2
years ago (Contains greater than 90% post-consumer content):
 
If the leading scorer from Intergallactic Amateur Hockey League perennial
champions Klingon Academy wanted to attend Minnesota, I'm sure Woog would
take him.  He might even offer him a scholarship, provided:
1) He was talented enough to merit it.
2) There were no eligibility problems transfering his grades from another
solar system, and
3) He passed the TOMOFL (Test of MinnesOtan as a Foreign Language).
 
However I do imagine that, if chosing between two equally talented players,
Woog WOULD give the nod to the Minnesota boy...
