The #2 goal scorer in the league is John LeClair (UVM) with 21 goals.  Bill
Guerin (BC) is tied for 5th place with Tkachuk and four other players.
 
There are four Hockey East alums who are captains:
    Paul Kariya    Maine    Anaheim Mighty Ducks
    Tom Fitzgerald    Providence College    Nashville Predators
    Brian Leetch    Boston College    New York Rangers
    Keith Tkachuk    Boston University    Phoenix Coyotes
From the WCHA:
    Chris Chelios    Wisconsin    Chicago Blackhawks
 
If you want to carry the thread further, you can include those in NHL management
with college hockey experience.  I by no means have a complete list, but you can
include the following:
    Jack Kelley    BU    Pittsburgh Penguins president (and Michelle Pfeiffer's
father-in-law)
    Lou Lamoriello    PC    New Jersey Devils president
    David Poile    Northeastern    Nashville Predators general manager
    Jack Ferreira    BU    Anaheim Mighty Ducks (got kicked upstairs last
spring)
    Bob Goodenow    Harvard    NHLPA president
    Ken Dryden    Cornell    Toronto Maple Leafs general manager
    Ron Wilson    PC    Washington Capitals head coach
    George McPhee    Bowling Green (Hobey Baker winner)    Washington Capitals
general manager
