NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Bob Gerencser is a 65-year-old salesman who lives in Cheshire, Conn. and has probably seen more Yale men's hockey games than anyone on earth. Gerencser grew up playing at Ingalls Rink, the home of Yale hockey, and has been a season-ticket holder at Ingalls for nearly 30 years, a span in which he has experienced a handful of stellar seasons and quite a few more that were something short of stellar.
"In some of those years, you could have your pick of just about any seat in the arena," Gerencser says.
When Yale was going 6-20 and finishing near the bottom of the ECAC in 1987-88, Gerencser was there. When Yale went 5-25-2 in 2004-05, Gerencser was still there. You can imagine how different things seem to him now, as 2010 has turned into 2011, and Bob Gerencser's Yale Bulldogs are not merely 11-1, but the unanimous choice as the No. 1 team in the country.
