Hockey on Campus

OK, I confess, I am a college hockey geek. I saw my first college hockey games at Madison Square Garden in 1972 watching the ECAC Holiday Hockey tournament. Those first games?
In the consolation round: Clarkson vs St. Lawrence and in the championship it was St. Louis vs. Notre Dame. I was planning on going to Clarkson the following fall and I was interested to see what college hockey was all about. CCT beat SLU and ND beat St. Louis, and I was hooked.

This love affair with college hockey is now 38 years old and I am pleased to find other college hockey geeks through US College Hockey Online (www.uscho.com) and the meets and greets at the Frozen Four. It is a fun group and yes, a bit geeky, but we all love our schools, even though Clarkson will never make the NCAA Divsion I finals again. Plus, there are a bunch of us in the MSHL.

So now I find a new resource - Hockey on Campus (www.hockeyoncampus.com) which is an internet radio show devoted to college hockey. Last night was the first broadcast and they archive them as well for later listening. Yesterday they interviewed the college hockey conference commissioners and mens and womens college coaches. The focus was all on D-1, but I hope they do focus on D-III in later shows as I have a financial interest in D-III hockey.

So, if you have any interest in college hockey, every Wednesday night at 7 PM the show is live. Apparently, you can tweet or email the show, too!
