[Kills bugs dead]
The standings for the ecac and hockey east from the 12/18 new haven register.
Come on all yoouse canuks from the great white north get interested in collage
hockey. At least a kid can get an education and a little more promise of a
job, while he is getting his preperation for his *dream* of playing in the NHL.
Hockey players smart you ask? I remember a Notre Dame team in the early 70's
where the two leading scorers were also 1 and 2 in there class of premed
students. Probably neither is playing in the NHL but I am willing to bet
both are making alot more money cutting people up than most of the "almost
made its".

I agree that NCAA hockey has become an excellent training ground for NHL talent, especially for defensemen because they aren't really ready for NHL action when they are drafted by the NHL, but for many of them another year in junior hockey would be useless and being sent to the minors would be demoralising. However, the NCAA gets pretty well no coverage at all here. None of the Toronto papers ever says anything about it, and you never see anything on TV, not even on the sports pay-TV station, which should be desperate for hockey since they don't have any NHL games. The only thing we have is The Hockey News, which is always a few weeks behind by the time you get it and it never has the type of coverage that you need to really get into it. That makes it pretty difficult for us Canucks to get interested in college hockey. This brings up another point though: As the above quote states, NCAA hockey is preparation for playing in the NHL, and many of the players have gone on to NHL careers. So why can't you yanks get interested in NHL hockey? Don't you want to see how your NCAA heroes do when they make the big time? Some of them are doing very well; just look at the Montreal Canadiens, or the Montreal Americains as they have been called by some. -- Jeff Richardson, DCIEM, Toronto (416) 635-2073 {linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd}!utcsrgv!dciem!jeff {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!dciem!jeff
