Regarding artificial noisemakers.... Since he is a member of the NCAA DII Men's Ice Hockey committee, I would imagine he would be expected to follow the NCAA's guidelines (IMO).
norm1909 said:You mention his role in the NCAA Division III committee, all the more reason he should respect his constituents, and either present a simple yet definitive explanation why hockey is so much different than most sports, where a plethora of artificial noisemakers flourish or help change the rules.
It clearly stats "while the game is in progress" which no one argues, and those of us with horns always stopped when the puck dropped..home and away...and that is the NCAA and SUNYAC guidelines which comes from the NCAA Rules Committee Interpreter.
Whatdoes the AD have to do with fans who sit on their hands? What is the obsession with noise makers? They can't cheer and clap their hands? Seems to be some type of derangement syndrome.
We've been down this road a million times. The NCAA DIII Men’s Ice Hockey committee rules and regulations allows for artificial noisemakers. It clearly stats "while the game is in progress" which no one argues, and those of us with horns always stopped when the puck dropped..home and away...and that is the NCAA and SUNYAC guidelines which comes from the NCAA Rules Committee Interpreter.
What's even better is that per the NCAA Rule book they are allowed during the regular season (just not during play) yet not allowed during championship weekend. When I asked the NCAA head hancho two years ago why are noisemakers not allowed during hockey games, but are allowed at other sporting events she told me that artificial noisemakers are not allowed at ANY NCAA Championship venue. Seems funny I remember hearing and seeing a whole bunch during March Madness....The reasoning she gave is that they want their Championship events to be as neutral as possible....
Please whats next....Team A's fans are louder then Team B's, so half of Team A's have to alternate cheering...Or Team A has twice as many fans as Team B, so some of Team A's fans have to move to Team B's side and cheer for the opposing team.
Please be aware, everyone,that the comments made on this topic DO NOT represent the majority of the Plattsburgh fan base. Also, Norm, take a breath. Your keyboard is burning up!
You sound like you speak for the majority, is that what you are claiming? I'm certain you will NEVER find a case where I made such a claim, without a source. As I have noted in the previous posts, I try to make it a habit to use IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) whenever I am stating my opinion. Is it your opinion that " the comments made on this topic DO NOT represent the majority of the Plattsburgh fan base" or are you GOD or otherwise privy to information that can back up your statements, if not, than please provide proof or clarify the comment, I believe it should read:
"Please be aware, everyone, that the comments made on this topic DO NOT represent ME and in MY OPINION, THEY DO NOT the majority of the Plattsburgh fan base.”

How can you talk about facts, when part of your posts are based on name calling again and again.
two things..... You could drop the H and save a keystroke (let's face it, you are anything but humble in your opinions).
Remember, the bigger the donation, the louder the voice. Try that approach.

It also clearly states about throwing objects on the ice at any time.![]()
Name calling? As in calling him Brucey? My whole family calls my uncle John, Johnny, I guess I'm at a lost of what you are talking about, but as it is "again and again", I'm sure you should be able to point out several examples. Also, I won't quote facts without a source.
BTW, I really like the name Brucey![]()
