Man Meets Stanley And A Lot Of Fish

from the Citizen,

Phil Graham never anticipated he'd get a chance to hold Lord Stanley's Cup - the oldest trophy in professional sports and championship prize of the National Hockey League. But three times? Graham, who grew up in Ithaca and now lives in Skaneateles, is the manager of Lynah Rink at Cornell University. He is now in his 26th year with the school. But the job isn't always so glamorous. Sometimes, his work just plain stinks. “The worst game of the year is Harvard. They throw fish on the ice,” Graham said. “I have to get out there and pick it up.” That wouldn't be so bad if it were just a handful of fish, but the Big Red don't do anything in small doses. “I'd say you end up with about 1,500 pounds of fish on the ice every Harvard game,” he said.

from WBIR,

You could argue the goalie or the head coach is the most important part of a hockey team. Ask any member of the Columbia (South Carolina) Inferno they'll tell you something different. "Everyone knows it's obviously the dentist, we depend on him for clean and healthy teeth," says Jay Legault, the Inferno's center. "It's just a main factor for our team succeeding this year."

Corvo Has Been Down Many Roads

from the Telegram,

Something was going to happen. A defining event was on the horizon. In a bar, on the street, wherever. It might have been worse than what took place — a scary thought, that — or it might not have been as bad. Point is, there’s no knowing what outlet Joe Corvo’s downward spiral might have found. But it was coming. “Something would’ve happened,” Corvo repeats. “I just think, the road I was on, it was not the right road.”
