Bitz Chats with Fans

The following article featuring former Cornell standout Byron Bitz appeared March 11 on the Boston Bruins Web site.

 

Byron_Bitz: Hey everybody, thanks for coming... let's get started
bruins91: What was it like hearing the crowd in Boston chanting your name to get you to come back out and try for the hat trick?
Byron_Bitz: The crowd was unbelievable. It takes a certain amount of hockey knowledge to pick up on that, I don't think fans in other cities would have recognized what was going on.
Byron_Bitz: It says a lot about the fans here and their knowledge of the game.
bigredfanatic: Great to cheer for you at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. You've got games coming up against two former Cornell teammates--Iggy (Islanders) and O'Byrne (Habs). Your thoughts about facing them.
Byron_Bitz: I played with Iggy for two years and he's done very well in the AHL and its good seeing him getting a shot now and playing well with the Isles
Byron_Bitz: I played against Ryan once, he's tough to play against but it's always fun to see those guys out there.
RCM: I was thrilled to be drowning in one of your game-worn Cornell jerseys last night in Columbus. Thinking back to your time in Ithaca, did you have a favorite item on the menu at Collegetown Bagels?
Byron_Bitz: Thanks for the interest from Cornell!
