Hobart "Hobey" Amory Hare Baker, Princeton athletic hero and Great War aviator, lost too young in the skies over France, and now the namesake of college hockey's Heisman, is the subject of a New Hampshire public TV documentary that is reviewed at US College Hockey Online. (Was he a suicide?)
It may be a niche sport, but it's a glorious niche sport, college stick-and-puck: Maine beat Massachusetts this past weekend in triple overtime for the Hockey East crown in the fourth-longest game (109:27) in NCAA history.
