There was no reason listed as to why Medo Martinello and Brian Ricci were
dropped. As I explained in my previous note, it was pretty self-explanatory
why Medo (the Meathead) was dropped. As for Ricci, I don't know. He is not a
Ref that stood out (in my opinion) as a rotten ref, but our supervisor of
officials, Ron (A.J.) Foyt has been closely monitoring the WCHA officials for
at least one season. It could be that Ricci just wasn't cutting it or he
wanted out. Who knows? If I hear any more I'll let the List know.
We are gearing up here in Minneapolis for the showdown of the only two
UNDEFEATED teams in the WCHA (league play only). The Northern Michigan
Wildcats arrive this weekend and it will be a very interesting series.
Let's GO GOPHERS!!!
