Just a quick reminder on Stanford's Hockey Club, since a number of folks have expressed interest. It's the new year, and we're back into pushing that vulcanized rubber disk around! You'll recall that a previous note put us at 4-3-1, prior to the Christmas break. As it turned out, a couple of our losses turned out to be forfeits (due to roster issues), so we actually went into last weekend's contests with a 6-0-1 record. Despite having to play at 12:45 AM on Saturday against UCLA (get some decent ice time, doood! :-), we managed a 1-1 tie against them. And, despite having to play again a scant 15 hours later, we edged USC 2-1, picking up three points total for the trip. Thanks to the low SF-LAX airfares, we were able to take 18 skaters with us this time, and that helped a lot. Lots of credit goes to my defensemen for keeping the number of good shots on our goal to a minimum. Our record, with eight games to play in the season, is 7-1-1. All our remaining games are at home, or at least in N. California, too! The real reason for this note, though, is to drum up a crowd for our next home game, against Cal Berkeley, on Friday, February 1st. We've beaten Cal 6-3 and 2-1 to date, so you can be sure that they'll be gunning for us. Expect an exciting contest and a big crowd! Look for yours truly between the pipes, as usual, and a revived, revised, defense out front. It'll cost a couple of bucks to get in, so don't come empty-walleted!
