Thanks. > I remember Merrimack College wearing them right up until they joined Hockey East for then '89-'90 season. How far back they go, I'm not sure. Early Eighties at least. They DID wear them to the NCAA Quarterfinals in Sault St. Marie when they lost a two-game, total goals series to Lake Superior. I think, however, that Hockey East mandated standard equipment on all teams and so the long pants were history. Not sure if that was the case, though. I still have highlight tapes of games the Warriors played with the long pants. I agree, they were pretty sharp. David M. Josselyn [log in to unmask] GO MERRIMACK!
