Die-Hard Fans Shiver at the Whale Fest


You had to be a die-hard fan to handle the freezing cold weather at yesterday's Whale Fest. This was only the second outdoor game played by the Whale and it might be the last because it was so darned cold. Everyone was hugging each other, whether the hugger or huggee was known or unknown. In between games, the fans--both males and females--huddled together in the Food Court and the men's and women's restrooms just to get some "relief"--from the cold and fierce wind.

Connecticut state trooper Sgt. Anderson said it was a large crowd considering the cold but unusually calm for a hockey game. "We all had only two things in common today and it was a love of the game of hockey and the weather."








And in the end, I had no idea who won.
