Norwich Cadets Hockey 2013: The Final Countdown...

Re: Norwich Cadets Hockey 2013: The Final Countdown...

Another former Cadet has signed a pro deal.

Pier-Olivier Cotnoir has signed a contract with the Newcastle NorthStars of the Australian Ice Hockey League. Newcastle plays their first game on Saturday, April 20.

This is the same league that former Middlebury sniper Mickey Gilchrist joined in 2008 and tore it up.

I don't know if its 100 percent true as I only know that Norwich's date is correct, but still pretty cool:

Well, it was just announced, and it does cost a substantial amount of money per game. DI is far better able to support those costs, while at DIII the money generally has to be raised by sponsorships, and donations.

Personally, it's now a gimmick that is being overused. Once was fun, but more- meh, not so much.
 
Re: Norwich Cadets Hockey 2013: The Final Countdown...

Hey, that second weekend the tentative schedule has the Cadets at UMass-Boston (Friday) and Babson (Saturday) ... why not?

I think the outdoor game thing has kind of "jumped the shark." It's the kind of thing that stops being special if it done too often. It's like when "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" first came on as a one-week special event, it was really neat, but then ABC overdid it until it faded into obscurity. Then NBC did the same thing with "Deal or No Deal." Major League Baseball has done it with interleague play, too. Too much of a good thing ruins the "good thingness" of an event.
