As to Long Island hockey-
 
Chris & Peter both played as Mites for Suffolk PAL and one year as underage
Pee Wees. They then left the Island to play for the Little Flyers as 2nd year
squirts.
 
Present '97-'98 Army Hockey Captain- Tony DeFelice is a native of Queens, NY
and thus a Long Islander.

 WOW!  2 players from Long Island.  LI hockey has sure come a long way
.... especially, if this is correct, that this guy Scuderi played at St.
Anthony's -- which is a Long Island catholic school -- consistently been
the best LI high school team -- but that was never saying much -- would
regularly get pummeled in the state playoffs ... but recently they've
actually won games in the states, as had my old high school, in years
we've managed to beat St. Anthony's for the LI title.
 
And in fact, I just noticed that a player from my old HS worked his way
through the minors the last 5 years and was in the camp of Fort Wayne in
the IHL.  Simply played LI HS hockey, and D-III somewhere.  Absolutely
amazing if you know the level of play there when I was going to school.
 
But the amount of rinks on LI have increased 15 times over since then --
which is the key.
 
Does anyone care?  Just thought I'd share that.
 
The Ferraro's, by the way, don't count.  They never played a day of
hockey on LI.
