My experiences are 99.9% with Eastern Colleges, 99% of that with Hockey East, and I wondering just how common it is to sieve out west. Everybody seems so shocked by it. It is a commonplace in HE, and schools even have sieve chants. UNH fans for example spin thier arms in the air and let out a "sieve" for each goal scored. BU has it's well knows Sievs/Goalie double sided banner that they hang from the balcony at Walter Brown. In fact, a friend of mine who play at Colgate said of UMass' rookie fans that it was good to see so many, and so many loud ones but "they don't sieve." After a bunch of roadtripping BU fans did it to Regan, a friend of mine from New Jersey asked me what the heck that meant. It's commonplace here, I guess what I'm wondering is how foreign is it to the CCHA and WCHA. Leigh [log in to unmask]
