If the reports on Kent State are true, that they will be dropping hockey this year, then I'm going to disagree with James Old. I think that Kent dropping hockey is going to HURT UAF's chances of getting into the CCHA. Without Kent, the CCHA stands at 10, which is a nice round happy number. Playing only 3 games against each conference opponent gives you 27 games, which leaves about 7 or 8 for non-conference play. Since some teams have been screaming for more non- conference action, this might fit the bill. Thanks to Steve Hallman for the nice compliment. I don't know if we completely see eye-to-eye, since I don't know how tall Steve is. :-) (BTW, I'm 5'11") G. M. Finniss Michigan State University WVU '87, UTenn '92, MSU who the hell knows when?
