Subject: Tournaments
Since we've got the Big Ten (CCHA/WCHA Challenge) Tourney starting this
season, and the Governor's Cup at UMass next season, here are a couple
of ideas for new tournaments that are screaming out to be held.
* Vatican 5 (or whatever), or the Pope John Paul II Invitational: the
four full-time DivI Catholic schools - BC, PC, Merrimack, Notre
Dame - fly to Rome for this tourney to be held over Christmas. The
rink can be set up in the middle of St Peter's and the Pope can drop
the puck right after midnight Mass.
* The General Patton Memorial Tournament: Air Force, Army, Navy, and
Coast Guard (they have a club team). As for where to play, I'm not
sure...maybe set up a temporary rink aboard an aircraft carrier.
BTW...I know I'm going to hear it for the name of the machine I'm on
(check the From: line). I didn't name it; my system was swapped with
someone else's yesterday. I'm already working on either changing its
name or fixing sendmail.cf so that it does not include the hostname. :-)

Terry May at Northern Arizona sent me this and okayed my sending it to
the list. NAU is a former NC$$ DivI team that was without hockey for
several years, but they reinstated it last season and are currently at
the club level. Thanks to Terry for the info and maybe some of you in
the Washington, DC area will get to see NAU when they make an East
Coast swing in January. - mike

I thought you might enjoy having a copy of out tentative schedule for
the coming year. We get on the ice this coming Saturday night for a
preliminary skate and will have tryouts throughout the week next week prior
to basically exhibition games with a local team on the 15th and 16th. We
have had many new people show up for preliminary meetings so are excited to
see who actually comes for tryouts - even more importantly, how they can
play. It seems silly, but we were pleased as 3 goalies showed up for the
first meeting. We are hopeful that we can now compete well with the
regular club teams; we'll find out soon.
The LA Kings were in Phoenix to play an exhibition with their farm
team - the Roadrunners. Gretzky, McEchren, and Sandstrom skated for the
Roadrunners on 1 line. The game was a sellout and the Roadrunners et al.
won 6-5 after a shootout. Gretzkys Roadrunner jersey is being auctioned
for charity! The IHL has done away with the 5-minute overtime period prior
to a shootout. It'll be interesting to see how that works. We also have
4 NHL games scheduled at the America West Arena this year - "The Desert
Series": Stars-Ducks on 11/9; Canadiens-Nordiques on 1/5; Flames-Kings on
1/24; and Blackhawks-Ducks on 3/8. Jerry Colangelo (of the Suns fame) who
basically runs the arena is committed to bringing baseball & hockey
ultimately to the Valley. I still think a winter college "Desert Classic
Tournament" would work; particularly if you had a midwestern team as there
are many Chicagoans, other midwesterners who have relocated here.
I'll try to keep you posted as the year develops! All the best - Terry

Subject: Yet Another Tournament
Having been inspired by Mike Machnik's amusing tournaments (The Pope John Paul
II Tournament and The General Patton Memorial Tournament), I'll submit the
following:
* The Second Banana Tournament - This is open to all state university teams
that list their city to indicate their location at a "secondary" campus.
Number 1 seed: UMass-Lowell (Go Chiefs!). Number 2 seed: Minnesota-Duluth.
Number 3 and 4 seeds: Alaska- Fairbanks and Alaska-Anchorage (I'm not sure
which is considered the "primary" campus there so I'm allowing both entry
in my role as Tournament Dictator).
Potential expansion of the tournament would add Illinois-Chicago (if there is
some other Illinois team at another campus - and if not, why the Chicago
designation?) and all the Michigan teams that aren't UMichigan itself: Michigan
State, Western Michigan,... First puck to be dropped by Ed McMahon. Seated
in the stands would be Al Gore and Hillary. Note that because this is Second
Banana but definitely NOT Second Rate, we would not invite the following second
rate individuals: Peter "I'd Sell My Soul To The Highest Bidder" Pocklington,
Gil "Scandal? What Scandal?" Stein, John "I'd Rather Not Go to a Game" Ziegler,
almost any NC$$ official, and (my own LEAST favorite) any parent who pays
their kid to score goals.
Hey, no flames please. THis is all in good fun and no disrepect is intended
for any of the teams. In fact, UMass-Lowell is my team (I'm still bummed out
I missed Midnight Madness) and I'm convinced they'll show the college hockey
world that we-was-robbed last year when we didn't get an NCAA invite after
finishing third in Hockey East (yeah, that's the conference that had the
NCAA Champs - congrats to the Black Bears - and semifinalist Boston University,
so all in all a pretty tough conference to ONLY GET TWO REPS IN THE TOURNEY!).
But after I got cranky about the Guvnuh's Cup, questioning why UMass-Lowell
should be left out in the cold, I mellowed out a bit (A BIT, I said, "mellow"
is not a word people usually associate with me) and accepted that Lowell was
not the primary campus and who cared anyways since Bruce Crowder and staff will
continue to make UMass-Lowell the best UMass team regardless of whether the
most students are.
Sorry for the length. My father was a minister so getting long-winded is in
my genes.

Subject: Publication
I got a flyer in the mail today for something called the College
Hockey Guide. Says it is a complete guide to men's and women's ice hockey
with contacts, rosters and schedules for 500 teams and 30 leagues in 342
pages. Says it covers NCAA, ACHA (clubs), CIAU (Canada), CCAA (Canada, too)
and clubs.
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of it?
It's published by Athletic Guide Publishing, Box 28, Deerfield, Ill.
60015. This is the same address for the American College Hockey Association.
Phone and fax number is 708-940-1015.
This publication lists at $24.95, but there's something called an
October special where you can get two of the following for $39.95 and all
three for $49.95 ... a copy of the guide, a subscription to Intercollegiate
Hockey Newsletter and/or a subscription to College Hockey Magazine.

Subject: Andre Aubut dies
Wednesday, Andre Aubut, Maine's first All-American, died in a Montreal
hospital from complications resulting from a freak hockey accident last
April that left him paralyzed.
Andre led the 1978-82 ice hockey Black Bears from Division II to
Division I play. I'll fondly and forever remember the way he could spin
away from the fore-check and start the break down ice. Andre and his
family returned to campus each summer to participate in the annual
Alumni games and to renew team and community friendships. This summer's
Alumni game was dedicated to Andre, and his family, and raised over
$30,000 to help them.
Andre is survived by his wife Manon and two children.

Subject: BC-USA
Well, Mike Machnik, Heather, Adam Bryant, and I all went to the
BC vs USA hockey game tonight. (Wed)
Although we enjoyed ourselves, the game did not have much excitement.
Team USA won the game 9-3, outshooting BC 51-26 (I'm not sure of the 26)
It was 9-1 with apx three minutes to go in the game, BC just came on
strong as Team USA thought they were in the showers or heading home already
A few observations and opinions:
#1 Team USA is in a LOT of trouble. Garth Snow made many beautiful saves,
saves that would have made Maine people proud, but the USA defense should
NEVER have allowed all those chances (not that good anyway).
#2 BC is going to be a lot more solid than we previously thought.
Although BC lacks the talent to execute and convert many chances (read
missed one-timers and blown slappers), the fact is that they worked hard
and played well positionally. They gave USA trouble early by playing
tight defense. USA adjusted, but it was still scary for a bit.
#3 BC will come in last in HE if Singewald is their goalie. Many of the
goals were not his fault (great plays by better teams), but many were.
He looked weak in net and lost at many times. His defense saved him on
many occasions (except when he lost his stick and no one would give him
one - No goal was scored, but still dumb on BC's part) If this new goalie
is as bad as he looked at first, BC will be 7th or 8th in HE. If this new
goalie is as good as he looked the last 4 minutes of the game, BC could
be a threat to finish 4th or 5th in HE. We will see.
#4 One combo for USA that was tried mid-way through the game that seemed to
deliver good results was the pairing of Dave Sacco (BU) with Peter Ferraro
(Maine) and some other forward (insignificant as those two set each other
up with good chances.) Sacco can pass and Ferraro has speed.
#5 The Maine combo on D of Imes and Martin was the only good pair on the ice
for USA tonight. There was one other individual who stood out on the power-
play for USA. I forget his name, but he was out of Minn-Duluth and it was
NOT Derek Plante.
#6 BC can not handle traffic for a game. For a 1/3 full arena, the garage
was full and the traffic jam was horrible. If you go to a hockey game at
BC, take the `T'... You'll be glad you did.
On side notes, there was a mini-game (5 min) between the Jr. Eagles (BC) and
the Jr. Terriers (BU) during the first intermission. The score was 0-0 but
we all loved it. I must report that there was more hitting amongst these
8 year-olds than there had been in the entire 20 min 1st period of the "real"
game. Heather and Mike asked if the kids could keep playing and the Olymians
and Eagles just come on and play during the kids' intermissions.
I must say, the crowd was more excited and the competition more fierce amongst
the little ones than the "real" ones dreamed of. It was fun.
Heather says "hi" to all she's sorry she has not been able to get on the list
lately.
All-in-all, Heather, Mike, Adam and I enjoyed ourselves and were glad we went.
If anyone is going to the BU-USA game this Friday let us know. I know I am
going. (If you don't have tix, try calling (617) 353-3838)
The other possible Hockey-L game is NU vs. UND since it happens the night
before opening night at our own rinks. It is next Friday evening at
Northeastern. It should be good.
See ya all
