I wasn't going to send this, because I thought I might be in the minority; apparently it has caught the attention of a lot of you. I saw the Denver-Wisconsin game. A agree that the officials tend to let a lot of things go, and so that makes it a league problem. But there are those players out there (fortunately few in number) that get carried away. There just isn't a nicer way to say this: Sean Hill is just a plain hack. He was one at Duluth East HS and he is one now. Players like him give ice hockey a bad name. This isn't biased because I'm from Minnesota and were talking about a Wisconsin player; I've never seen a Wisconsin player as cheap as Sean Hill. Wisconsin players are built of skill and character--I should know, because most of them are from Minnesota. It was a cheap hit that Hill put on Aikens. But Sean has a lot of experience at that kind of stuff and can conceal it well. Maybe a year suspension would give this type of player time to think carefully about the situation; it would at least prevent further injury. Dan Glumac University of Minnesota
