I was still in school (at RPI) when a friend and I went to the Albany
River Rats/Cornwall Aces game at the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany.
Dunham (Rats) and Snow (Aces) opposed each other on that night. I
think it was late in the 1993-94 season, after the Olympics (but it
might have been shortly before the Games, too).
It ended in a tie, 2-2 I believe. The Albany press (Times-Union) made
as much about the fact that the two were the Team USA goalies as the
UMaine connection. I might possibly still have the clipping, but I
seriously doubt it.
How were Snow's rights obtained by Philadelphia? Cornwall was a
Quebec farm team, and I recall Snow's NHL debut came with the
Nordiques.
Coincidentally, I was at another Rats game early in the 1994-95 season
(vs. Binghamton, where Jean-Yves Roy was playing at the time, and
maybe the Ferraros?) when Dunham was in net. He was having a really
rough night, and one of my colleagues from the Albany area was riding
Mike pretty hard. Finally, a guy in front of us said something to the
effect of, "Would you mind knocking it off? He's my brother." After I
apologized for my friend's behavior, we ended up chatting about
college hockey in general and Dunham's career in particular for a
while. He was a nice guy. There's a strong family resemblance, too.
