Some Pick'em history: It was all started by Purple and Gold10, a young high school kid in the southern tier of NY, as ECAC-West pick'em in, like, 2002 (?). It was copied first (I think..by Jabbers811) as SUNYAC pick'em and then by many others. When P&G10 headed off the college and was transformed into PrezdeJohnson09, ECAC-West Pick'em was passed off to this old guy at Utica who ran it from 2005 to its ultimate death as UCHC Pick'em in 2018, the last of the D-III pick'em games left. (sniff, sniff) In 2023 (wow, that long ago?), that, now older, guy borrowed information from Pioneer247 and his 2023 Conference Tournament Mega-Thread to run a Tournament Pick'em game. Thanks for all who played. Going back to look at the pick'em threads from 2009 is a trip down memory lane for some of us old timers. You young bucks may be surprised at the number of posters in the early years of the USCHO Forum, most of which were excellent(!) and a few of which are still here. So, pick away!
