Then I didn't miss it.  I went through the mag twice looking for it.
 
Oddly enough, though they flubbed in a big way by not running anything on the
championship game/NC$$ tourney, they DID mention college hockey in their
"Faces in the Crowd" section with a blurb on Army goalie Daryl Chamberlain,
who set a school record with nine shutouts this year.  So they do pay a little
bit of attention to the sport, I guess... then again, this is old news, since
Army's season ended a month and a half ago.

Yup... did one myself.  And it's especially a major surprise considering that
the school that won the tournament is one that SI has certainly heard of,
although in areas other than college hockey...
