I think you got my response confused with the original, anti-Canadian post. I am on record as being strongly against such bigotry. Also, there is no cheering in the press box! Steve Klein ---------- Saw a post the other day from Steve Klein about the flux of Canadians receiving American college scholarships and spending taxpayers money. Maybe Steve Forbes should be informed of this. The point is, in other Division I sports (baskeball, football, volleyball), there is a common practice to award out-of-state scholarships to keep those big football factories racking up wins. A state supported school receives the bulk of its TAX money from the state. Out-of-state scholarships cost double. College hockey's recruiting of Canadian players is no different from what goes on in other Division I sports. Besides, its their national sport and we all owe them a big thank you for giving us something to occypy our lives of quiet desperation (sic). And Steve, I remember you hanging on every goal when you were covering Michigan State when you guys played Ferris. Sometimes, our Michigan-bred lineup of Bulldogs spoiled the day for the International-look Spartans.
