🜲 PoLiX Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Thought this was a really cool read: http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/high-school-teams-set-for-greatest-game-never-played-032910 On a Friday in 1989, before the biggest hockey game of his life, James Olsen walked into his school gym expecting a pep rally.  He'd waited months for this moment. The Delbarton School senior played for one of two powerhouse hockey teams set to compete the next day for the New Jersey high-school championship. Delbarton and St. Joseph Regional High School, known as St. Joe's, boasted athletes who would play in college and eventually go pro. Ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in the state, the teams hadn't faced each other all season. Neither group of players had ever won a state crown.  The 1989 squads never got their shot. Mr. Olsen stepped into the gym and was hit with a reality check: A measles outbreak at Delbarton forced officials to cancel the game. It was never rescheduled.
