Quarterfinal Press Kit

Hi everyone,

At Pete Souris’ suggestion, I’m trying to get the majority of these press packages to you ASAP, so you can get the copying done well ahead of time. As I’ve sid before, I’ll be overnighting the covers so you’ll have them first thing on Thursday. I’ll also include a single kit, to use as a guideline if you’d like. For those of you who want to get tarted earlier, here’s a general line-up for the kit. It doesn’t have to follow this order precisely (say, for example, you’d like to move the rosters and records forward), but the kit ought to have all this material included. Also, please feel free to make double-sided copies, to save paper.

1) Cover 2) Page 2, listing the opponents (this was sent as a pdf earlier on Tuesday) 3) Hockey East Tournament Leaders 4) All-Time superlatives 5) Team records 6) Individual records 7) UNH vs. PC 8) BC vs. NU 9) BU vs. UVM 10) UMass vs. Maine 11) Quick reference/Tournament 12) Coaches poll reprint 13) Arena diagram (if you have one) 14-19) Seasons final press release (I’ll resend via pdf) 20) Home team record (from hockeyeastonline.com) 21) Home team roster (from hockeyeastonline.com) 22) Visting team record (from hockeyeastonline.com) 23) Visting team roster (from hockeyeastonline.com) 24) NESN release (I’ll re-send the pdf) 25) B2 Networks release (I’ll resend) 26-31) Box scores from the prior three games between the teams (two pages each, from hockeyeastonline.com; feel free to substitute the collegehockeystats box scores) 32-?) Any other pertinent material you’d like to include ...
