Clarkson was one of the non-bye teams that made the final four in '92. We had to beat the defending champion, Wisconsin, in their building, the then ranked #1, Lake State, in their building and then go on. Our guys had no legs in the semi-final. Reaching the final four is no evidence that the present system is fair. Young men in their late teens and early twenties have immense recuperative powers, but the rigors of hockey eventually catch up with them. It is almost self-evident that, in a sport as exhausting as hockey, fair competition requires that all teams play the same number of games in the tournament. Let's all push for a sixteen team tournament!
