I was pretty sure that Gagnon would go pro if he was offered a decent contact
in the NHL. He's following in Darren Puppa's foot steps. Puppa left RPI as
a national champion and after his junior year when many of the other key
players graduated. I don't think that these goalies really wanted to become
the main attraction in a shooting gallery in their senior year. Who can
blame them. As for Gagnon finishing his degree, I hope so. Collin Patterson
left Clarkson a year early but returned to school the following summers to
earn his degree.
So it's back to watching the Stanley Cup finals on "Hockey Night in Canada."
It's a big plus, being so close to Canada. Con Cherry is quite the
character. I love it!
