When SLU played UNH earlier this month the in-between the period games were very entertaining. After the first period there was a game of young players. I don' know the age of peewee players but these players did seem quite young. After the second period we watched a game of hockey between players who do not have the use of their legs. They use sleds. It was very interesting and something I hadn't seen before. I like it when schools have contests or games in between the periods.
As for the sieve chant. I hate it. and always have. I don't recall the first time I heard it. I have always thought it was stupid for sever reasons:
1. You should be rooting for your own team and not against the other team.
2. What does it say about your player who just scored if the goalie is a sieve?
3. Why hasn't your team scored more if the the goalie is so bad?
Just my opinion.
