For what I believe is the first time, the San Jose (CA) Mercury News, in the Jan. 20 edition, has published the latest ECAC and CCHA college hockey standings, as well as the results from the weekend games. It got 5" of space next to the 28" of college basketball, but given that we have no local Div I teams (unless Cal or Stanford apply to the CCHA for membership ;-) it's not a bad start Maybe they are trying to compete with USA Today. BTW, no reason was given for slighting the WCHA and Independents. John Hughes Amdahl/Advanced Systems Fremont CA, 94538 [log in to unmask]
