Description: [Photograph of Michigan Tech goalie Rick Best and Colorado College Tigers goalie Bill Howard, published in the February 10, 1965 issue of the Daily Mining Gazette with the following caption: "Dee stadium fans witnessed a hearty handshake Friday evening on the occasion of the meeting between the Tech Huskies and the Colorado College Tigers. Above is shown Tiger Bill Howard felicitating Huskie backstopper Rick Best. Both performed excellently. The fans were loud in their praise for Howard because he was a miracle man in front of the meshes. Besides, he played the match with a partially "frozen" hand. Drugs were applied in this case because of a previous injury. Fans enjoyed the big paw episode which preceded the game delayed 25 minutes because of Howard's patching by the Tech physician (Gagnon of Gazette)." A report from the Monday, February 8 issue of the newspaper indicates that Best helped Tech to a 3-1 vicotry on Friday, while Tony Esposito was in goal for a 10-1 victory for the Saturday game.]
