In an effort to allow others to catch up to me, I'll condense three ideas
into this one posting.
 
1. PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
The Hockey East Player of the Week is Providence goalie Mike Heinke, who
shut out Merrimack Sunday 4-0 and made 25 saves.  He also allowed 5 goals
to BU Friday in an 8-5 win.
 
Hockey East Rookie of the Week is Providence's George Breen.
 
ECAC Player of the Week is Dartmouth's Vern Guetens.
ECAC Rookie of the Week is Clarkson's Todd Marchant.
 
2. POSTING FROM NEWSPAPERS
I talked to the editor of Merrimack's school paper, Dave Josselyn (that's the
editor, not the name of the paper), about this.  He says that once an article
is published, the information in that article becomes public domain.  But
you would need permission to quote the entire article or even just pieces of
it; saying that "This was written by so-and-so in the Daily Shopper on
12/1/91" is not enough.  So my suggestion is, give the facts you read but
don't type in the article.  I've done this myself before and will have to
remember not to do it again.  BTW I believe the quotes are public domain
so you can use those, but it's only fair to give credit to the reporter who
obtained them (although not legally required, apparently).
 
In that spirit, we come to...
 
3. NEW BC COACH NEWS, PART XXVIII
First, let me warn you that most of this is not new, and none of it is
earth-shattering.  But some of the words from Gladchuk reiterate rumors
we've heard before.
 
Joe Concannon writes in today's (11/26/91) Boston Globe that BC AD Chet
Gladchuk still hasn't begun to officially work on nailing down a successor
to Len Ceglarski.  Gladchuk wants to remain open-minded and consider
anyone who may be interested.  Specifically mentioned are the three I listed
recently, SLU's Marsh, BG's York, and Maine's Walsh, plus a fourth, Yale's
Tim Taylor.  These are rumors, not names spoken by Gladchuk.  There is
precedent for Gladchuk going outside the BC circle, as he did when he hired
football coach Tom Coughlin.
 
Gladchuk believes a new coach should "be aware" of the fact that BC has won
only 2 Beanpots in 26 years and should have "some experience" with HE and
the NC** championships.  (quotes are Concannon's)  This would seem to rule
out all but Walsh, whom many believe to be the frontrunner.  Also, those
in the know at BG say York won't be coming to BC.  And, Marsh's name is
surfacing more and more lately.
 
In addition, as I mentioned several months ago, Gladchuk is interested in
recruiting "the best" student-athletes to BC, which is code for going to
Canada (which BC has never done).  Concannon reports that associate coach
Steve Cedorchuk already has several excellent Canadian players interested
in coming to BC.
 
Gladchuk has been receiving letters for 4-5 months, but he has just opened the
position, which will be advertised in the next NCAA newsletter.  He said, "I
think, in the big picture, the type of coach we're looking for for the short
term will more than make up for any minor disruptions we're experiencing
today. [i.e. by waiting to name a coach - mike]  If the coach is involved with
the NC[**] Championships, it's conceivable we won't name him until it's over.
If it's an in-house candidate who emerges, we may not have to wait that long."
 
I found that to be the most interesting quote in the article.
 
Gladchuk also said that he doesn't want BC to suddenly start getting all its
players from Canada; he thinks the priority should remain with local players,
yet he said, "...for me to tell a coach who may have a lead on an outstanding
young man to simply say no because of past practices is a questionable
position."
