just a few facts, maybe you will enjoy, maybe you won't!
 
 
     "Did you know that Lake Superior's three titles were captured during
     the years of Winter Olympics (94, 92, 88).  Will the Lakers next title
     be in 1998 or will NHL "Dream Teamers" be replacing the college boys?"
 
     Oh by the way, Lake Superior, Minnesota, and Wisconsin are the only
     three squads to make the NCAA tournament for at least the last seven
     consecutive seasons (1987-88 -- 1993-94).
 
 
     Over the last 10 years (1985-94) of the NHL entry draft, I have
     compiled the following list showing which leagues have
     produced/recruited the most first round draft picks.  An ** denotes
     the player was drafted before entering college.
 
     Unofficially, CCHA with 12 first rounders, HEAST with 10, WCHA with 4,
     and ECAC with a shutout.
     However, there are at least three candidates which i need your help
     on.
     1.  Tom Fitzgerald (1986 #17 NY Isles)  I think HEAST?????
     2.  George Pelawa  (1986 #16 Calgary)   I think WCHA??????
     3.  Chris Biotti   (1985 #17 Calgary)  I think Harvard???
 
     well here goes my list.
 
     CCHA with 12
     1.  Jason Botterill (Michigan - 1994 #20 Dallas)
     2.  Kevyn Adams (Miami - 1993 #25 Boston)
