From memory, here are a few lettered 'tenders from the 1990s:
  Blair Allison (Maine) "C"
  Mike Gilmore (Michigan State) "A"
  Derek Herlofsky (Boston Univ) "A"
  Dwayne Roloson (UMLowell) "A"
 
This seems to be OK, provided that there in a non-goaltender
wearing a "C" and performing the duties that Arthur mentions.
Hence...I think Michigan's Marty Turco should and will have
an "A" in 1997-98.
 
Btw...please message me if any of my "recollections" above
were incorrect.  Thanks.
