Not only is there "Youngblood," which will come out on Friday, but "Touch and Go," a film with Michael Keaton as a pro hockey player, will come out sometime in February or March. I have a feeling this isn't an accident. Could the marketers have decided that hockey is the latest Yuppie phenomenon? God, I hope not! Wayne Citrin (ucbvax!citrin)

God, I hope not! I do. If films like these are not an indication of growing popularity of the game in the U.S., then at least they might encourage its acceptance. Then maybe we can watch the a few games a month on network tv, rather than waiting for cable to arrive. The ends justify the means.
