There are some great traditions in college hockey. One of the best can be found at Alfond Arena in Orono, Maine. Meet the “Naked Five”. They can be found running around the arena whenever Maine scores a goal. I first met the Naked Five at the 1995 Frozen Four in Providence, Rhode Island. I used that picture as my Christmas card that year, much to the dismay of my mother.
The second picture was taken at the 2004 Frozen Four in Boston. The last picture was taken earlier this winter at one of the Maine/UNH game up in Orono. Even though I was “the enemy”, these kids were great sports when I asked to take a picture with them.
Recently the Naked Five celebrated their 30th anniversary. Here’s to having them fill the steins to dear old Maine for another 30 years
