This player is Mike Dunham.
Reportedly, Dunham was paid a stipend for his participation in the 1994
Olympics because he had joined the team late. It is claimed that his mother
received the check, called USA Hockey and was told the stipend would not
affect elligibilty. The check was deposited, and Dunham claims not to have
known (though I still don't understand how you can't notice $1200 in your
bank account). The rest is history.
