While having 6 players from one public high school is notable, you cannot
overlook the impact on college hockey Catholic Memorial has generated this
decade.  In the 1992-93 season, Boston University had seven players on their
squad from CM:    Mark Bavis
    Mike Bavis
    Dan Donato
    Stephen Foster
    Chris O'Sullivan
    Kevin O'Sullivan
    Mike Prendergast
 
Adding head coach Jack Parker to the list gives you a total of eight alums
from one high school on one college team.  This doesn't count the other CM
players in college hockey that year, notably Jim Carey at Wisconsin.  Oddly
enough, BU will have nobody from CM playing for them this year.
 
Of course, CM is a private parochial school, however it does participate in
Massachusetts public high school tournaments for all sports.
