Hockey Ettiquette According to Hoyle The Larson Line Should Hockey be a Varsity Sport? ‘‘The difference between coarse and refined abuse,” observed Dr. Johnson, “is as the difference between being bruised by a club and wounded by a poison arrow.” by Andy Larsen As referees, opposing players and drivers of the Zamboni machine have learned, Well sports fans, the time has come to ponder another tough question—the Lawrence hockey fans are not of the refined variety. They are club-wielders. status of hockey at Lawrence. Granted, this isn’t as pressing a matter as say, the Hockey has, of course, long been criticized as an excessively violent game; but fate of the U.S.F.L., but then again this isn’t the New York Times. these criticisms have customarily been levelled at the players, not the spectators. At Hockey at Lawrence is in an unusual position. The Vikings are currently (and the Tri County Ice Arena, however, this is simply not the case. A striking contrast have always been) a “club” sport, a term that inevitably brings to mind visions of to our gentlemanly skaters, Lawrence hockey fans exhibit all the civility and sport­ rugby players gathered around a post-game half barrel or lacrosse players smok­ smanship of a lynch mob.

Club sports are also synonamous with hockey players free to do other things. player-coaches, hand-me-down equipment and poor playing facilities, as well. But with the alarming proliferation of foolish cheers and the increasing In reality, the Lawrence hockey club simply doesn’t fit into these generaliza­ virulence of verbal abuse, conference officials have decided upon a new system of tions.

Moreover, and the plan is expected both to facilitate play and to preserve Tri-County’s fragile those games are attended by more than just the player’s roommates and foundation. girlfriends. Lawrence hockey draws well, falling only behind football in terms of The spectator fouls, to be instituted at the Vikes’ next home game, January 29, attendance figures. It is not poorly funded either, although I ’m sure anyone on are as follows: the Viking squad who came from a strong high school hockey background will argue with me here. Lawrence’s team is funded by the university, though, and herein lies the distinction. Hockey is the second most costly sport for the school to provide (behind football, of course) and for that reason alone it seems rather odd to many people that it hasn’t been accorded varsity status. But should it? The answers aren’t as simple as they may seem. To begin with, Lawrence now plays an eight game schedule. Obviously, that would have to change. Varsity teams at schools like Lake Forest and UW- Superior usually play well over 20 games, and even club teams like UW- Milwaukee play at least 15. Seems like a simple enough problem right? Wrong. If the Vikes were going to increase the number of games on their schedule, they would have to start practicing much earlier than January, as they do now. It would also mean playing games over the Christmas break, since almost all of the Excessive Profanity teams that LU would conceivably be playing are on the semester system, which Against Ref Stupid Cheers puts their Christmas vacation about two weeks after ours.

If the Vikes did go varsity, and increase their buffoon trying to spell out V-I-K-I-N- schedule to include Term I games, practice would have to begin in November (at G-S with his body. This is college, after the latest.) That means the school would h^ye to spend a significant amount more all, and abuse should either be clever or money for ice time, something Athletic Director Ron Roberts has made clear very obscene—never peppy. Foolish won’t happen. cheerers will be dragged behind the ‘‘Hockey at Lawrence is in a kind of purgatory” explained Roberts. ‘‘They Zamboni for one intermission. draw well at the gate, they have a legitimate coach and they get school fun­ ding-all of which are earmarks of a varsity program. But if they were anything more than a club team, we would have to spend more money on them, and we can’t really do that because we’ll be using most of this year’s budget to upgrade the girls sports teams.” Roberts also pointed out that travel costs would be significantly increased if the Vikes started to play varsity teams (such as Superior, River Falls or Lake Forest.) The players themselves haven’t reached a consensus on the matter, either. In Attempting to Sneak the past years the prevailing attitude has been laid back, to say the least. With in Without Paying the arrival of coach Anderson this year, however, things seem to be changing. There are a dozen easy ways to gain Captain Rob Frazier, for one, would like to see hockey become a varsity. “ It free entry to hockey games, so if you're would be more of a committment for us, there is no doubt about that,” Frazier nailed for this violation you deserve it. said, adding “it is frustrating for me when people don’t show for practice or are The refs don’t really care too much unprepared for games. He also liked the idea of Lawrence playing more games about this one because their fees are against better quality teams. Senior defenseman Erik Ostenso disagreed. “ If guaranteed, but if a Tri-County Ice hockey were to become a varsity sport, I don’t know if I would be able to Patroller nabs you they’ll slap you to play—simply because of the time committment.

Every year the rumor that hockey will go varsity since, short of strip-searching, there’s no circulates and every year it proves to be false. Whether it be for better or for way to deal with the volume.
