(Summarized from "Stops & Starts," the American Hockey Coaches Association newsletter) Some of the projects celebrating the 100th year of college hockey: 1) National Championship Trophy Preliminary sketches call for a two-foot award in a pyramid shape, with winners of past tournaments at its base. The standing trophy would tour the country at selected sights. Each winner in all three NCAA divisions will receive a replica. The trophy should be available for viewing by January. 2) Centennial Banners & Youth Hockey Clinics The ACHA hopes to hang banners with the centennial logo (currently seen on the ice in many arenas) in each rink. Each coaching staff is encouraged to conduct a single, one-hour youth hockey clinic in conjunction with the AHCA and the Centennial sponsor (One Xcel, Inc., manufacturer of face sheilds). 3) National Fan Ballot on All-Time Favorites In mid-December, the ACHA will distribute a ballot to fans across the country for the selection of all-time favorites in several categories (players, coaches, teams, uniforms, arenas, etc.) The ballots are designed to allow fans choose by region, division and decade. The ACHA will compare fan picks with the votes of a panel of experts and release the results in February. Randomly selected fans will receive trips to the 1996 NCAA and conference tournaments. 4) Historical Moments The ACHA is distributing a list of "Memorable Moments" to the media. Ten of the moments will be chosen to appear on a commemorative set of hockey cards celebrating the College Hockey Centennial. The ACHA will distribute the cards to the media beginning in January. The Centeniall officially takes place on Feb. 14, 1996, on the anniversary of the first game between American colleges. Yale defeated Johns Hopkins, 2-1, in Baltimore, on that date in 1896.
