Yup.  The rowdy student general admission section is directly behind the
visitor's bench.  They've been known to give opposing teams a hard time.  And
of course, that's where the guy with the cowbell sits. :-)

Hmm, not really.  It's a relatively recent phenomenon (no more than 4 or 5
years old) that's turned into a tradition.  I would really doubt if it had
anything to do with the Catholic schools though.  As Mike said, the fish is
thrown at every home game (unless they get shut out, of course), and even
some road games.  I'm sure that if UNH had made it to Boston Garden last
year that they would have found a way to sneak it in there, too.
 
Maybe Jim Love can shed some light on this.  You'd think that any
self-respecting member of Friends of UNH Hockey would know the story behind
this :-)
