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.
