The spirit of Ned Braden lives!
Mickey Meyer, a Southern Cal goalie who was, according to him, "fed up with the refs", dropped his hockey pants, starting slapping his butt, and skated around the rink-- mooning the crowd. What could make this better? It was a game in Provo, Utah against Brigham Young. Also, when the goalie was ejected, and ticketed by a police officer at the game, his replacement, Matt
Buttweiler was put into the game.
It has really become a national story. Unfortunately, this is perhaps the most pub ever received by an ACHA team...
