Retire Paul Kariya's #9? I say no way. Granted he was a great player, but
he only played a little over one season at UMaine (and what a season it was).
But retiring a players number is to honor that players career. If one were
to reflect on the "career" of Paul Kariya at UMaine, and compare his career
numbers to those of Montgomery and Pellerin, there really isn't much of a
comparison.
