This note is only marginally related to college hockey, but I am
going to post it anyway. This weekend my 14-year-old son was
playing Nintendo hockey with a friend. I had my wife come watch.
(We have both had Maine season tickets for years.) There were
some spectacular body checks, including a few textbook boarding
penalties, in my view. My wife's comment after watching a couple
of shifts: "Well, if he is going to be in front of the TV this is
much better than all that violent stuff on the network channels."
