    “You drive by some of these rinks in the winter and there isn't anybody out there. It's kind of sad, actually...Here it’s go to the rink, pay for your ice time and practice for an hour where we could just walk to the rink and skate for four hours if we wanted to...It was just a lot of fun. I wish I could go back and be eight years old for a couple days" -Neal Broten

      :Your mental associations with the city of Saratoga Springs, NY consist of (in reverse order):

      4. The nationally famous springs,
      3. SPAC,
      2. The world-famous racetrack,
      1. Skidmore.
      Go Cards: win or lose, The Better Team.
      A Lot of (Sometimes Tainted) SUNYAC Championships
      A Handful of ECAC West Championships
      A Number of NCAA Appearances, Including Several Trips to the Final Four, Though Some of Them Don't Count
      Some National Championships:
      Women's (THIS YEAR, LAST YEAR, A Couple Years Back, '08, '07)
      Men's (Wow Look at the Time Pass, A While before That)

                -You've been to every SUNYAC hockey rink and have compiled a list ranking them from your most favorite to least, taking into account such things as atmosphere, concessions, sightlines, attractiveness of the student body, and, of course, the all important "intangibles."

                -Somebody says Plattsburgh, and you don't reply "huh? where's that?"

                I'm sure I can think of more
