Ten College Hockey Chuck Norris Facts
• Jeff
Zatkoff grew tired of shutting out all his opponents.
So in the very next game, he held the other team to
minus-2.
• Tyler
Burton is actually 11-feet-6, but shrinks his entire
body by 50 percent during the hockey season to keep
things fair.
• St. Cloud
State officials wanted to change the name of the university
to St. Lasch State, but Lasch politely declined. He
cited an instance when he said, "Gosh darn it,"
after one of his shots hit the post and thus deemed
himself unfit for sainthood.
• Ryan
Cruthers once scored a game-winning goal on assists
from Ryan Cruthers and Ryan Cruthers. When the official
scorer said that wasn't possible, Ryan Cruthers told
him to look in the rule book ... where he found nothing
except a picture of Ryan Cruthers.
• How did
Clarkson get home from Sunday night's game at Cornell
when a 45-mile stretch of Interstate-81 was closed due
to lake effect snow? Nick Dodge. That's how.
• In a
compromise to the ongoing legal tussle regarding North
Dakota's nickname and imagery, the school offered to
change its icon to an image of Ryan Duncan's head, but
that was deemed to be hostile and abusive to opposing
goalies.
• Tony
Romo took a vacation to Mexico with his girlfriend during
an off week. James van Reimsdyk took a vacation with
his girlfriend to Tahiti between periods.
• Kevin
Porter is so good under pressure that 911 calls him.
• An Air
Force Academy instructor asked Eric Ehn about advanced
missile defense systems, and Ehn rolled up his sleeves.
• Nathan Gerbe doesn't
ask for directions in Boston. He goes to where he feels
his destination should be and expects it to meet him
there, and calls that place Pimp Street. |
