Message: [QUOTE="RSTuthill, post: 2573607, member: 7322"] In the old days there was absolutely no one talking about hockey. The Courant might have one article per year. I remember one year I was schmoozing with an old time rink friend in the days of the MAAC when he remarked on a particular Husky taking forever to shoot the puck at essentially a wide open net. He said something like he had time to turn to his caddy to make sure he had enough club. I laughed, thanked him for that, and said I would use it in my game report. Which I did, only to see it in the Courant the next morning, verbatim, without attribution. That was a shock but I certainly did not mind. The women's BB team, however, were big fans and would come to games when they could. One very well known player who is now coaching was dating one of the hockey players. UConn soccer, btw, used to get covered very nicely before FB went FBS. But then print media started to suffer financially and the Courant got rid of Jerry Trecker. The rest is history. [/QUOTE]
