Date sent: 25-MAR-1992 12:18:44 Hopefully someone from the Salem State hockey program will read this and pass it on to the players. I was one of the 3500 who cheered you to victory this past Saturday when you beat UWS. I must admit it was a pretty proud moment for me. I realize that it's tough to come into another place to play. I think a lot of the fans were rooting for Eastern Hockey, and I was especially proud of that fact. An interesting article appeared in our local press regarding the support you received. The author then reminded us of the time when Plattsburgh was out in Minnesota during the '86 Final Four. So much for Eastern teams supporting each other: RIT fans were rooting for the home crowd over Plattsburgh. I really can't see how people can have such animosity when it comes to cheering at hockey games. All the players are there to have fun- it is only a game. One last note--After the near-tragedy which I witnessed a few weeks ago, I don't think many Plattsburgh fans(or others) will wish pain upon another player again, even if one is only kidding. (p.s.--Mr. Rowe from POINT--Why weren't you at the game in Plattsburgh?) CARDINAL HOCKEY- "GOTTA HAVE IT" AND "GOTTA LOVE IT!"
