Harvard/Minn-Duluth:

Amazingly enough I do not have the original article (I do
have several others from that season). It was the 84-85
season. And you remembered it as I have. The article was
written for the Harvard student newspaper and was a slam
against Duluth and its citizens, not the UMD team. I
remember something about Duluth lacking "culture" ie all we
had was hockey. I also remember the writer of the original
article writing a formal apology to the people of Duluth in
the Duluth newspaper.
By the way UMD won both games 4-2.
Sergei Petrov:

From the University of Minnesota Duluth Hockey program:
>Provided Cloquet High School hockey followers with one
>unforgettable season in 1992-93...originally came to Duluth
>as a Bulldog recruit in July 1992 and remained to attend a
>final year of high school...
Thus I do not think the Wooger had a chance to recruit him.
As good as Petrov looked in the Tournament I think some of
that credit has to go to Jamie Langenbrunner.
