Winter or ice finishing is fine for the casual athlete who can only operate with bursts of energy. The technique, practised wherever there is ice in New England, is to chip a simple hole in the ice, drop a hook and bait into the water. At the other end of the line you attach a wooden bob with a violent red flag on a short length of stick and lay same on the ice next to the hole...

In the Canisius game, the enemy's pivot man tried guarding Ed too closely. Result: the Canisius star wound up on the bench in tears, out of the game on personal fouls with...
