My favorite comment from the banquet festivities was the reference to
Mark Beaufait as "The guy that made Darryl Plandowski famous."
(For those less informed it was Beaufait's pass to Plandowski which scored
the NCAA championship game winning goal in St. Paul.)
 
Still no official word on Brad Werenka's signing with Edmonton.  We'll keep
checking.....
