Hopefully, just once Mazzoleni will release a "Smoores" line matching Steve and senior defenseman Mark Moore with little brother Dominic.
But this night isn't for a dramatic unveiling of the teams. Neither squad has held official practices with the coaches present. This night is for some fun at the frozen pond.
Both the men and women's squad will scrimmage. Inevitably, someone will stage a fight--perhaps a triple threat with the brothers Moore? For my money, I'd take sophomore defenseman Angela Ruggiero pound-for-pound in any scrap, male or female.
After the games, the seniors will stage a skills competition. And throughout the night, the fans will have the opportunity to win some goodies, with the earliest, most eager arrivers receiving a Hockey Madness T-shirt.
Five lucky fans will have the opportunity to win $50,000. That's right: five students will be chosen at random to take three shots from center ice at a hole in the goal approximately eight inches across.
Sink one, and you receive $100. Bag two and you get a cool $25,000. Score the first hat trick of the season and you'll receive nearly two years worth of tuition in cash.
Now that's true madness.
The Athletic Department has planned this event to rekindle student interest in Harvard hockey.
