    BTW, we've changed AD. Steve Y is retiring and being replaced by Scott Smalling. I don't forsee a change in course.

      I was a student assistant in the Northeastern Sports Information Office back in an ancient day and did much of the NU workup for the 1964 ECAC Christmas Tournament at Madison Sq. Garden. The field included NU, PC, Brown and St Lawrence, which--at least at that time--was universally known as the "Larries." BTW, NU beat the Larries, Friars, and Bears, in that order, to win the tournament

        SLU was never actually that. It's like calling RPI "Tute" or Brown "Bruno" ... it's just a thing old sportswriters used to write to sound hip in the 1940s.

          Trust me--we were the Larries. My frat had a Homecoming float one year that we called "Camp Larry." It had kids playground equipment on it--I was on the swing set. My brother & roommate Bob was on a seesaw. And BTW, I was at MSG for that Xmas Tournament.

            No it's not. They were the Larries. Nobody called them the Saints until, oh, I forget exactly, but I'd say sometime in the early 70s.

              I just checked Bob Graham's book on SLU hockey history, and it gives conflicting accounts of the name change. It says the Saints nickname "became official around" 67-68, driven by the class of 68 popularizing it. But later it says the Saints nickname "received formal recognition before the start of the 1975-76 campaign". So, if you average those out, I guess my estimate of the early 70s was pretty good!

                I left CCT in 1978. You were still Larries to us.

                  We were definitely the Saints by then, but still with a lot of vestigial Larries references -- similar to Canada's metric conversion!

                        Larries seems like a better name to me than Saints for a secular college.

                            Although the SLU faithful that I know do consider Joe Marsh to be a Saint.

                              I know - I meant in terms of its origin.
