Back in the time when Phil Latreille was scoring bunches of goals for
Middlebury, UNH had a netminder, an All-American named Rod Blackburn, who
(please give me a hand any of you UNH H-L'ers) supposedly stopped around
*100* shots for the Wildcats against Army. The 'Cats were Division 2 at
the time, and they played outdoors with some third-liners wearing
rolled-up magazines for shin pads, etc.
 
Times, shin pad choices, and arenas have changed markedly since those
times, but, this achievement still stands in UNH lore as one of the greatest
performances ever. (UNH won, I believe, 3-1, in that game).
