Before the rumor mill starts... Buffalo is placing a bid to host the 2000, 2001, or 2002 NCAA hockey championships. Site would be the new Marine Midland Arena, a new, down-town, state-of-the-art hockey palace which will become the home of the Buffalo Sabres and the Canisius basketball team this fall. Hosts would be Canisius and Niagara. The bid presentation will be made next month by the commissioner of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) and the head of the MM Arena, with support from the City of Buffalo, coach Brian Cavanaugh of Canisius, and coach Blaise McDonald of Niagara. If it happens, I promise to buy a half-dozen buckets of wings for the hockey-l'ers who attend...! --------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Stephen E.
