> Some "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out" news. No criticism of Pam (I'm sure she agrees with me), and it probably doesn't need restating, but this whole brawl thing has no place in college hockey (I don't think it belongs in any hockey, but thats a different argument). I have never seen an article report a rumor of a planned brawl or fight in a college hockey game before this (and hope that the rumor is false and such things don't need reporting in the future). On the role of Otto Breitenbach, WCHA commissioner: has any commissioner in any league overruled game officials in *lightening* a penalty very often? I think all commissioners are very hesitant to overrule game officials. > Also mentioned in the article is the fact that WCHA supervisor of officials Ron > Foyt will be on hand tonight. Will he be on the ice or watching? Will it make any difference? Foyt has never impressed me, and his decision to return to on-ice officiating baffles me. How can he supervise if he is working games most weeks? > Oh, and you may note that, in keeping with its PC team names policy, the > Star-Tribune never referred to North Dakota as the "Fighting Sioux" in the > quoted material above. That is perceived as a negative image (and, in the > context of this article, I think I might even agree.), but the name "Sioux" is > used. I believe that North Dakota themselves have dropped the "fighting" from their nicname. The have also changed their logo, although keeping the "Sioux." --david -------- david parter [log in to unmask] university of wisconsin -- madison voice: 608-262-0608/262-2389 computer sciences department fax: 608-262-9777
