This Week in ECAC Hockey: Dec. 4, 2008

by

Unlike your fridge, this column isn’t packed with leftovers from last week. This column won’t start turning yellow or dripping on your floor or absorbing neighboring columns, it hasn’t been declared a federal biohazard and it doesn’t smell like feet. It doesn’t have any tryptophan, either, so hopefully it won’t put you to sleep. Freshly … Read more

This Week in Atlantic Hockey: Dec. 4, 2008

by

Respect Last week might just have been the third most-important in the ten-year history of Atlantic Hockey (and the MAAC before it.). The first would obviously be the first league games, played back in 1998. The formation of the MAAC saved some programs from either folding or being relegated to a quasi-Division III no-man’s land. … Read more

This Week in the CHA: Dec. 4, 2008

by

Last weekend was a light one in the CHA, but the one coming up bodes for some major excitement. First off, Alabama-Huntsville makes the trek to Bemidji State in a series that over the years has proven to be arguably the league’s most intense. “When you play as few league games (18) as we have, … Read more

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…Circa 1981 There are six inches of snow on the ground in Flint, Mich., and the weather reports call for uninterrupted cold for the foreseeable future. When the snows first fell two weeks ago in my new hometown, I grumbled as though I’d moved north from the deep … Read more

Letters To Santa For the final column before the holidays, we’ve once again intercepted mail from Hockey East arenas to the North Pole and are sharing them with you. On Northeastern stationery: Greg Cronin here, Santa. Don’t set me up again, Big Guy. Yeah, we’re 10-3-2. Yeah, we’re in first place. But seems to me … Read more

by

Whistles Galore If anyone has attended a college hockey game this season, you may notice a few things are different. That’s particularly true when it comes to officiating. A quick look on the ice identifies the biggest difference. Instead of the regular single referee with two assistant referees, Hockey East, as well as all of … Read more

This Week in the WCHA: Nov. 27, 2008

by

I was originally thinking of keeping this short so you could quickly read through it and get to your turkey. However, I decided that content was more important and figured you could read it in snippets in between football games or something. Oh, and a lot of you liked the NHL thing from last week. … Read more

Thanks…and No Thanks There are plenty of things for the teams in Atlantic Hockey to be thankful for at this point in the season, as well as some things not to appreciate. So in the spirit of the holiday, let’s play a game of Thanks…and No Thanks. Air Force Thanks: Wow. The Falcons are off … Read more

This Week in ECAC Hockey: Nov. 27, 2008

by

One of the underappreciated rules of good writing is, as one professor said, to “avoid clichés like the plague.” Common phrases — usually similes or metaphors — are such an easy out, and can instantaneously turn a quality piece of work into hackneyed garbage. But some clichés go beyond a simple snippet or a sentence, … Read more

This Week in the CCHA: Nov. 27, 2008

by

The Sky Is Falling! I suppose I should be writing some sort of feel-good Thanksgiving column about what each team should be thankful for, as I have attempted with little success in years past. I’m sure that there are plenty of CCHA-related things for which to be grateful, but I’ve seen so much mediocre hockey … Read more
