Lynah probably is the loudest on a regular basis, but the siren at St. Lawrence's Appleton Arena has to be the most deafening sound in college hockey. As for Walker Arena, I was there for the last regular season game in 1990-91 as the broadcaster/writer for Princeton. Eleven goals later, I suspect that Jim Higgins and goalies Mark Salsbury and Ron High are still trying to recover. The combination of the band, bell, low ceiling and student to non-student fan ratio made it louder than any rink I've ever been in. Cheel Arena isn't anything like it, if only because so many non-students dilute the enthusiasm. The remodeled Alfond Arena has the same problem. -Geoff Howell The Trenton Times Drop The Puck and anyone else who will pay me
