I've noticed that Tom Draper, former standout stopper for the
University of Vermont Catamounts hasn't appeared in any listing of
former college netminders in the pros.  He has served time with the
Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Sabres (his current team), as well as
floated back and forth from their top minor league affiliates....his
problem in Winnipeg, Bob Essensa (sp??), in Buffalo, Darren Puppa and
now Dominic Hasek...he was a great college goaltender, and is a very
decent pro goalie as well.  If given the opportunity, I think he would
flourish for some NHL team.

Also, does anyone have any current stats/info on Christian Soucy, Tim
Thomas' predecessor in net for the Cats??  I know that he left early and
signed a free agent contract with the Chicago Blackhawks, and is
somewhere in their organization, but I'm not sure where. I'd appreciate
any help :>
