In the HE press release dated 11/7/94, Greg Bullock is listed as the
HE Player of the Week as I suspected, and Merrimack's Casey Kesselring
was the Rookie of the Week. Ironically, both are from Cambridge, ONT.
Bullock's 4-6--10 in two games against BU earned him the honor. He
has 6-9--15 in 3 HE games to easily lead all HE league scorers.
The following is something I don't plan on doing every week, but I had
a little bit of time here. All is taken from the release.
