From Hockey To Presidential Debates

Two weeks ago, Saint Anselm College hosted their commencement in the Thomas Sullivan Ice Arena. The arena was packed with graduates and their friends and family. As their walked across the stage it was hard to imagine the transformation the arena would undergo.

Perhaps, for students it is even harder to imagine that the place where many go to cheer on their favorite hockey teams, will now be used to stage a critical political event.

A small bit of irony in all this, is that the place where teams body check each other into boards, will now host an event in which candidates are sure to body check their opponents.

Note: It is Saint Anselm College, NOT Saint Anselm’s College.
