The original thought is still a possibility. I passed this message along to a
couple of people I've gotten to know in NYC who are into college hockey and are
going to follow MAAC teams. Both of them wrote back saying, "Huh? I didn't
even know they were going to have hockey at MSG. I'd have gone!" Apparently,
this incident is in no way, shape or form a test of whether New Yorkers will
show up for college hockey.
