Well, since we're doing Gale trivia, I worked for Sno.engineering in LIttleton. We purchased the Gale home & office building behind the library from Doc Gale. My office was in Rich Gale's former bedroom on the second floor, cowboy wall paper and all...

Wow! Talk about 6degrees of separation! Love it. Cowboy wall paper so sweet!
Thanks. Time sure flies. Maybe baseball also was dropped as part of Title 9 balancing?
We probably already have covered Sno-engineering on a previous thread, but my favorite ski area always has been Cannon Mountain, which has Sel Hannah’s imprint all over the place, including the Front Five slopes that he designed in the late 1950s, with his spouse’s name on the most challenging run, Paulie’s Folly.

Publicly, it was stated it was budget. The reality was it was Title IX pressure and baseball was the only men's team that could be to make parity numbers work without eliminating football or hockey.

Cool story about the Franconia connection also the Peabody family. Cannon mtn was our hill as I skied for Littleton. .now a former student is running the place. Ps..never was a fan of those slopes to the left of the Zoomer chair lolWe probably already have covered Sno-engineering on a previous thread, but my favorite ski area always has been Cannon Mountain, which has Sel Hannah’s imprint all over the place, including the Front Five slopes that he designed in the late 1950s, with his spouse’s name on the most challenging run, Paulie’s Folly.
Those slopes are steep, which is why I like them.
My late father coached Andy in Little League many years ago. Andy was a terrific all around athlete with a beautiful left handed swing.
I know the conversation has been going on for a bit of time, but I heard more grumblings on how the NCAA may look to expand the hockey tournament to include more teams (maybe 24 or 32). I can’t remember how long hockey has kept it at 16 but it’s been quite a while I feel.
I understand there’s more $$$ with more teams in the show, but I really hope they keep it to 16. The more teams that get in I feel it dilutes the quality of play, and takes away from success in the RS.
At the same time maybe with an expanded playoffs UNH will have a better shot to get back to the show - it’s been nearly 13 years since our last invite to the dance (2013).
It’s probably just a matter of time though… all leagues (both professional and college) are moving in this direction. I wonder when it will actually be implemented, and what form it takes. Maybe in the next 3-5 years?
