The current issue of the Hockey News is a celebration of that
publication's 50th anniversary.  Included in the issue is a listing of
all-time teams for each of the four major conferences in the NCAA over
the past 50 years.
 
Of note is the fact that the ECAC team is composed solely of players
from schools which currently comprise the ECAC, and that the Hockey East
team is based on players from the conference's conception in the
1980's.  All players from Hockey East schools who played before Hockey
East split off are excluded from either team.
 
It is hard to argue with the likes of Ken Dryden and Bill Cleary.  But
the omission of BU's Rick Meagher, a 3-time All-American, is egregious.
Note that Red Berenson of Michigan is included on the all-time WCHA
team.   I'm sure there is room for plenty of other arguments.
