...minor difficulties hindered that dream. The next weekend, Harvard was scheduled to play away at Yale and Brown, two up-and-coming teams. A long, horrible bus ride delayed the start of the Yale game, and despite Coleman's double-double, Harvard's inexperience showed. At times, four freshmen, including center Onnie Mayshak and guard Brady Merchant, were on the floor. Yale's Onija Woodbine laid 28 points down on the Crimson in a 69-61 Bulldog victory.

Of course, the Gators are a winning team, at week's end up two games to none over the Peoria Rivermen in the ECHL finals...
...unlikely success that says a lot about the appeal of minor-league hockey and the unique civic character of Lafayette, the self-proclaimed capital of French Louisiana. Simmering amid bayous and mossy oaks in the heart of Cajun country, Lafayette (pop. 112,000) is the league's fourth smallest market--and hasn't seen snow or natural ice since 1988. Not surprisingly, two lesser hockey leagues considered Lafayette too risky. Says Jady Regard, the Gators' general manager and a Louisiana native: "Hockey has no business working down here...
