Re: D-III Women's Ice Hockey Championships Awarded To RIT
Unless things have changed in the last two years, we, as parents were not allowed to attend any of the banquets. It was just the teams. Not fair, but that's what we were told!! The NCAA did provide videos of the whole weekend that we could keep as "souvenirs"...
not fair? ...gee, why not? Perhaps because the conversation with parents is more often:
"pass me the salt, but not like that pass in the Neumann game";
or "shoot me those biscuits, but don't put 'em in my chest like on Hallett in that UMass game";
or "check the other team out, but not like when you boarded Moon in the Platty game";
or "lift those potatoes over here, just like you didn't with that breakaway on Campbell";
"don't forget the dressing, like the undressing you got from Holtz in the Bowdoin game";
or "I'll take a little more icing on that cake, sort of like your entire second period against River Falls"; or
"slip me that butter, like when you caught an edge against the Tommys" etc., etc.
Let the gals live in the present and enjoy what matters most -- teammates and building more memories -- it does sound like fun but it's all theirs -- it is their time!
