All this talk about Lane MacDonald has given me the opportunity
to mention to the list an interesting little piece of "hockey family
trivia;" maybe everybody knows about this, but ... in any event, Lane
MacDonald's father, Lowell, was a right-hand shooting left winger with
the Pittsburgh Penguins of the early-to-mid '70s. Lane, of course,
was a left-hand shooting right-winger for Harvard. Lowell played a few
productive seasons on a line centered by Syl Apps (whose father also
played in the NHL); the right wing on that line, occasionally, was
Al MacDonough (or maybe McDonough). Al's son, Kyle, played for University
of Vermont at the same time Lowell's son Lane played for Harvard. In fact,
the year Harvard went all the way ('88-'89) Vermont decked the Crimson in
the ECAC semifinals at the Garden. I was at that game ... it was great!
The Vermont fan contingent put everybody else's fans to shame. Kyle was
pretty much the star of the game for UVM, as I recall.
