Just when you thought Dickey was gone, he returns, like a canker sore, to provide UMBS with the best sports reporting available. Well, it was only 10 short months ago that the UMBS men's hockey team last visited Ivey for a friendly Can-Am series, when Ivey beating UMBS in two straight blowouts (by double digits), and the legend of the "Money $hot" was born. Oh, how things have change. This was a retooled UMBS hockey team with more talent and readiness, including the anti-Canadian sentiment of Adam Robertson, to compete for the Ivey 2003 cup.
The Ivey men's ice hockey tournament was held in Canada's number one collegiate party town, London (not the UK!), the weekend of January 31 - February 1, and featured 12 teams from distinguished MBA programs throughout North America. Overall, this international event was wickedly fun for the players, fans, and the press alike. Our hosts - the Ivey players, "puck bunnies", and students displayed sincere hospitality and a penchant for good fun. Most importantly, Tim Horton's still served tasty donuts and one mean cup o' joe, the cornerstones of Canadian cuisine, eh.
The UMBS men's hockey team began the tournament with a Friday night game against McGill, a reputable program from Montreal (hockey's birthplace). Prior to the first faceoff, Canada's own "Cornell" Bob skipped over to the Ivey "puck bunny" to sign the tournament waiver form, but that's not all he did. Bob symbolically gave the unsuspecting bunny a glimpse of "where the sun doesn't shine", which ignited the team with a "we can do anything" attitude. The UMBS hockey team, the underdog, against the hockey-bred habitants, played like a well-oiled unit defeating the Montreal Canucks, 4 to nothing. While goaler, Chris Eldridge, notched the goose's egg, the real story of the game was the stellar defense that limited their French-Canadian opponents' opportunities to score, eh.
After their first victory, the team went out on the town, blatantly disregarding the team curfew, and enjoyed some of Canada's most treasured resource, beer. UMBS players, with the exception for Adam Robertson & goaler Eldridge (because of their prohibited low class footwear), joined other tournament participants at a local establishment known as "The Barking Frog", eh. UMBS players, like Mike Hendrie & Jeremy Altberg, enjoyed abundant eye candy and increased their social capital. Both men made contacts providing them access to new networks, thus making their own networks more entrepreneurial. Later that evening, UMBS players learned that their opponent the following morning would be more than the UMBS team had bargained for.
