When I was at Clarkson [many more years ago than I'm going to admit here], during the second intermission or the start of the third period the alma maters of both schools were played. I can't recall if both teams were standing on the blue lines or simply in the bench areas, but I always thought that was a classy thing to do -- and kind of further distinguished hockey from round ball in much the same way as the post-game handshake. Recent posts about the Bud song suggest that Wisconsin may do that same thing these days. What I'm interested in knowing, is this still done at many schools, and if so, which ones? I would be pleased to receive private E-mail on this subject and would be happy to post a summary of the resulting responses. While it may seem like an almost trivial subject, it is an aspect of both sportsmanship and marketing the game (a subject that I find very pertinent stemming from my interest in UConn hockey). -- Dick Tuthill
