Despite not really having the time, I went through the 1995-96
edition of the Sporting News Complete Hockey Book.  Below are all the
goalies who played college hockey who were listed that I found.  It
only includes players who played in the NHL in 1994-95, are listed on
NHL rosters, or are top prospects.

> Chris Terreri (US) - Providence
 
Played for four years at Providence College (1982-86).  Has played 264
regular season and 27 playoff games in the NHL.
 
That is 33 former college goalies out of how many who played over the
last ten yeras?  200? 300? 400?  Certainly not that many out of the
total number who played goalie in college.
 
Furthermore, out of the 33 players listed above, I only consider 10 of
them to have made it in the NHL, with the jury still out on Jim Carey
and Blaine Lacher.
 
There also have been other college goalies in the pros who either no
longer play, or were not listed.  Mike Luit (St. Louis?), Tom Draper
(Vermont), John Bradley (BU), Terry Taillefer (BU), Cleon Daskalakis
(BU) and Scott Gorden (BC) are a few who played have played pro
hockey.  from this group only Mike Luit made it in the NHL, although
Tom Draper also played some games in the NHL.
 
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan Tech lead the way, as each has 3
former goalies on the list.  North Dakota, Maine, Michigan State, Lake
Superior and Rensselaer follow, as each has 2 former golaies on the
list.  Fourteen schools each have one former goalie listed.
 
I'll leave it up to others to gather statistics for the current
season, if anyone wants to.
