   As much a part of day-to-day lives that College Hockey is for many of
   us, for most folks it just doesn't exist.  I just spent several days
   in the New York City - Philadelphia area.  Newspapers from both
   cities and many small papers (from towns between the cities) had
   little ice hockey and most of that was pro with a smattering of high
   school hockey.  I take that back.  One Princeton paper had a one inch
   article on Princeton (women) hockey.
