Aren't "they" the same "they" who a couple of years ago toyed with the idea
of playing hockey in two 25-minute halves? Was ice quality one of the
reasons that idea was rejected? Cornell's late, lamented junior varsity
team used to play lots of its games in two 25-minute halves, and I don't
remember the quality of the ice ever being an issue.
