1) What is your favorite team and/or league?  If you consider yourself to
         be a fan of college hockey in general rather than one team, please
         mention this.  How long have you been following this team?
 
       My favorite team is the U. of Minnesota Golden Gophers. I've been
       following them pretty regularly since about 1977 while in High
       School. I attended Minnesota from 1979-1984 (5 year plan!) While
       in school I played snare drum in the pep band, so I attended most
       of the games. Former Gopher Scott  Bjugstad went to my high
       school, and led our school to their first state tournament,
       so I especially liked watching his progress. He played for
       the North Stars for a while. I think  he's with Pittsburgh now.
 
    2) What team are you located closest to during the season (such that you
         get to see a number of that team's games or are exposed to media
         coverage of that team)?  This may or may not be the same as #1.
 
       I live in a Mpls. suburb, so the U. of Minn. is obviously the
       closest! St. Cloud State is about 1 hour north, and Duluth about
       3 hours north. North Dakota is about a 4 hour drive.
 
 
 3) Where do you live (city, state, country, etc.)?  If you attend school,
         what school will you attend in 1990-91?
 
     I live in Plymouth, MN - 10 miles west of Mpls. I attended the U of Minn.
     BSEE, 1984.
 
 
4) Do you have more than a fan's interest in college hockey, i.e. are
         you a player, do you work in a coach's or SID's office, cover the
         team for a campus/local paper, etc.?  Would you be able to send
         information on your team to the list?
 
    I'm mainly a fan of the Gophers, but other college news interests me.
    I have access to the Mpls. paper which usually has pretty good articles
    about the Gophers, and WCHA in general. I'm looking forward to Carol's
    reports from the Minnesota Daily, the campus newspaper!
 
 
5) About how many college games do you get to see a year, live or tv?
 
   I have season tickets to Gophers and Vikings football, along with a
   partial package to T'Wolves basketball, so my sports dollar is getting
   spread very thin. I usually attend 3 or 4 Gophers hockey games, and
   watch most of the televised ones (8-10 a year). I have had tix to the
   WCHA finals the last 3 years, and the NCAA two years ago and this
   coming year, all of which were or will be played in St. Paul.
