Re: Proposed rule changes - Summer 2010
By the way, if you have some time on your hands and are looking for something to do, consider sending the Athletic Director of Alaska-Fairbanks, Forrest Karr, an e-mail. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you! Mr. Karr, of course, is the outgoing Chair of the NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee and was a goaltender at Notre Dame.

Here is the text of the friendly advice I sent to him. Remember, strength in numbers ... let's take it to the streets!
Mr. Karr,
Please do the right thing and retract the rules proposals that you and the rest of the NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee made last week. The Committee’s callous disregard for the wishes of the entire college hockey community, and specifically a vast majority of the coaching body, is extremely distressing. Your haste to pass radical rules changes without the benefit of experimentation and detailed analysis has threatened to marginalize the college game and, in a worst-case scenario, make a mockery of it.
Update:
Mr. Karr immediately responded to my e-mail and even offered to discuss my concerns personally. I took him up on his offer by further elaborating my concerns about the proposed changes. He deserves a lot of credit for that and, based on the article linked below, it looks like the Committee is taking these concerns very seriously.
