In a related story...
I was at a wedding this weekend, well outside of the college hockey circle. While in the keg circle, some dude claimed to have played division I NCAA hockey for U of Illinois.
I called BS.
He tried to argue, but I told the group where I got my undergrad and how I know specifically about every NCAA D-1 school in existence at that time and Illinois was not one of them and is still not one of them. I said maybe he played ACHA D-1, but sure as sheet not NCAA D-1. His story of his winning goals against Notre Dame and Wisconsin in NCAA D-1 play went down the toilet and out the door with him.
I get tired of these BS stories guys come up with about their former hockey glory when they think nobody would call them out on it. Crap, my old butt would have probably outskated him in his youth, and I sucked and still suck at skating...
