Mike Zak misses the point about the Ivy League. He is absolutely right that there are intelligent hockey players at other schools. But there are a hell of a lot of hockey players out there who wouldn't stand a chanc at the Ivies academically. By the way, they probably couldn't handle engineering at Clarkson or RPI either. The point is that the Ivies (and some other schools have minimum standards which players have to meet which are higher than the standards at some other schools. This puts them at a competitive disadvantage (look at football, basketball, etc.) The Ivies have managed to maintain their competitiveness in hockey through their strong tradition of support for this sport. Again, this goes for some other schools as well. Graham M. Pugh Cornell '84 LET'S GO RED!!!!
