when faceoffs were called, blah blah blah.
In the spring of my senior year of high school, I knew I was heading off to
Boston University, but had no idea of what kind of hockey tradition the
school had. Heck, I didn't know that there even was such as thing as NCAA
Division 1 Hockey."

I was hooked, without ever seeing ice or snow in my life."
Just want to second that, Jason, from a fellow "Hawaiian," McKinley High
School '83! I, too, grew up in the tropic and never witnessed a hockey
game until I came to Cornell. It took one game, vs. Brown, my junior year,
and I was gone....Proud to say that we hung on to our season tickets and
are looking forward to the coming season.
I know, I know, what am I doing? I have been away from the list for a
couple of years now. But, I was looking up some information and came
across the archives on the web. So I thought I threw in my two cents and a
quick ALOHA to the folks. I notice there are a lot of new names, but Mike
is still holding forth. Thank goodness.
I'll be back visiting from time to time.
Aloha,
