In the Div. I basketball tournament, the NC$$ has vacated the participation of 30 teams. The first was St.Joseph (Pa.), which won the third-place game in 1961. The most recent victims (well, *they* screwed up, so who's the real victim?) were Florida, Kentucky, NC State and Maryland, which were all nailed in 1988. Two runner-ups have been vacated, but the more trivial I get, the less relevant to hockey-l it becomes. just FYI. ALSO...thanks to John H for pointing out to me that Jim Slazyk of the ECHL, who I could have *sworn* ESPN said had the GWG in the "Huntsville Brawl" game, is in fact a goalie. They DID mention his name; of that I'm positive. What noteworthy thing(s) he did in said game is uncertain. Hey, it was early, and I was ironing a shirt and fuming over the Beanpot. GS
