1. To Craig Cheslog - Could you give me some insight as to why the ECAC chose Bowdoin as the final 4 site this weekend ??? They were seeded 8th ??? Why not Salem St (#7) . I guess Williams was not "central" enough and U.Conn's partially enclosed facility hurt their chances. I not saying it was a good decision but I have not been to Bowdoin. How big is the rink ?? Will they sell out ??? How far is it from the other 3 schools ??? How many students live on campus ? I know they have a great tradition there and by knocking off Middlebury the #1 seed (quite an upset) it's "neat" that they now get to host - and probably very exciting there, around the campus. 2. RE: PENN STATE HOCKEY First, my congratulations to JOE Battista - a good friend and a hard worker in all aspects of the game. Second, it's a shame that Coach Paterno is the A.D. - Why ???? Well the hockey program could go varsity - FIRST . Then, they could join ECAC (WEST - WE'D LET EM IN) or South, whatever. The could become adjunct members of one of the ECAC (non D- I) divisions and play at least at the varsity level. Right now those of us are reluctant to schedule them because they are "club". NOT because they are good, less than, more than - only because varsity teams generally avoid playing club teams. A fist step is going varsity and NOT trying to jump right into a D-I situation. The rink and set up they have right now is as good or better than a lot of us at the ECAC E,W, N, C, S, Divisions. My advice to Penn State (as is to Buffalo State) - both schools are club and have rinks on campus. Both schools are using money as the excuse for why they are NOT going varsity. Have your students as a body get behind a petition to go varsity. The administration will listen to the students - if enough petition "loudly" in an organized fashion - they will listen.
