Tales from yesteryear - Hockey's Golden Years (or at least my college years)

Well, like a magician I don't like to give up my secrets, but I guess I will this time ;)

I was looking at this site and this site.
and found this page
I wanted to see if I could find a bigger picture of this
and came across this.

BTW, I think the Oswego one came first (based on the what IMO is clearly a Laker uniform) and since the internet was still in its gestation stage (Arpanet, BITNET, CHATDISC, etc) back then I am more baffled as how it quickly it got to Murrayfield, UK - both events were on Nov. 1977.

Heck BITNET didn't start until 1981!!

This is interesting because it's a drawing done by someone pretty talented.
I doubt he knew it was being used by multiple parties. Looking closer it looks like a Minnesota North Stars player in the foreground and maybe a Blackhawks player behind him. Logos hidden for obvious reasons.

The March 7, 1981 Plattsburgh State - Oswego game may have been one of the most exciting D2/3 hockey games ever played. With everything at stake, the Cards scored 4 unanswered goals in the 3rd period in front of a hostile OU crowd at Romney to give Plattsburgh their first-ever NCAA Final Four appearance. It was something I'll never forget !

Our team in 1980-81 had HUGE penalty problems and played shorthanded about 30 minutes per game. Big Dennie Poulin, Francois Bellefeuille, Rick Young and Doug Kimura all had 100 PIM or more with Poulin leading the world with like 190 !! Tough group who played it the old-fashioned way. Touch the goalie, get pummeled. Get around a D-Man get whacked in the ankle, wander in to the corner and you might get a stick across the chops. A style that vanished long ago, but worked very well for those great Cardinal teams.

An ace penalty killing unit featuring the likes of Mark LaLonde, Dave Rattray, Pierre Brunet, or Gaetan D'Anjou

I like the part about Gaetan D'Anjou being part of a "ace penalty killing unit"....A tremendous offensive talent who once score 50 goals, Gaets didn't know the territory inside our blueline whatsoever. Our best PK was Pierre Brunet and Michel Talbot (son of former NHLer Jean-Guy). I think they had something like 14 shorties that year.

This is amazing, was it aprils fools? I guess nobody was keeping track of the shots in 1964, but every one had to go in! One guy got 6!.. If I was Remy, I would say Hobart pulled the goalie in the 3rd :)
Thanks Norm!

Norm.......not trying to be a dbag here but I can't find the article from the night that Steve Naughton scored 6 against Platty. Let me enjoy those moments...
