BREAKING: Talented Freshmen Ice Hockey Player Easily Overshadows My Own Personal Accomplishments

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Congratulations to Skidmore ice hockey player Vlad Gavrik ’14 who will represent his home country of Ukraine in the 2011 International Ice Hockey Federation U-20 World Championship in Belarus.

Garvirk’s accomplishments are further highlighted by the fact that I didn’t get out of bed until 2pm, had Cheetos for breakfast and am incredibly proud of myself for making it this far into the day without crying. Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose!

Skidmore Ice Hockey will play its final game of the season tonight at the City Ice Rink at 7pm.

Representatives from the New York Knicks and Skidmore College have now both confirmed that the team will be returning to our hallowed Sports and Recreation Center for pre-season practice this September. Previously the Knicks enjoyed pre-season training in Charleston S.C but moved to Saratoga last year after Mike “The Moustache” D’Antoni succeded Isiah Thomas as Head Coach.

Although last year’s practices were not open to the public Skidmore’s own Seth Rosenthal—who covers the Knicks at PostingandToasting.com—was granted some exclusive interviews.

Knicks Invade Skidmore

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

For me, nothing says Creative Thought Matters like off season basketball training, and apparently New York Knicks President Donnie Walsh, and whoever is in charge of Skidmore, couldn’t agree more. September 30th through October 4th we will be hosting the New York Knicks off-season training.

Tuesday as we awake from Monday night’s beauty sleep a bunch of really impressive looking coach buses will probably drop of a bunch of really impressive looking basketball players. While this may seem like the perfect opportunity for you to “bro out” with Allen Houston or confirm rumors that Patrick Ewing’s third leg runs in the family, I assume Mr. Walsh and head coach Mike D’Antoni will be keeping these boys pretty close. The team will meet twice a day in the “Sports and Recreation Center” with practices being held closed to the public.

The Knickerbockers have a pretty interesting media policy but we do anticipate at least a small media presence on campus this week. The Knicks also have a pretty interesting Carmelo Anthony policy, but we do not anticipate any Denver Nugget presence on campus this week.
