As long as I was eligible, I was happy.
So I wanted to go to the University of New Hampshire.
I went to prep school for a year up in Maine with the hope of going to UNH and playing football, hockey and baseball.
That's what I wanted to do.
Well, the hockey coach didn't think I was a division one hockey player.
So I had no school to go to.
I was 17 years old with no college and nobody interested.
So one school that was interested was a school called Merrimack College.
And Merrimack College was Division III.
They weren't Division I. They were Division III school.
And they offered me a full scholarship.
And for all you parents out there, it was $3,500 my freshman year.
I think Boston University is, I think, 80-something thousand now.
Thank God I'm not around now.
So I wanted to go to college at UNH, but I ended up going to Merrimack.
Well, in the summer, I played baseball in the summer.
I didn't play hockey in the summer.
So a friend of mine called me, and he said, look, we have a summer league game.
And we need some guys to play.
A bunch of guys went away for the weekend.
