During my weekly perusal of the Troy Record (:-)  I found an interesting
article on Neil Little, former goalie at RPI.  It said he was regarded as
the FLyers #2 prospect (don't know if that meant in goal or overall, they
did also draft Aaron Israel in the same year, I believe), that he was now
the starter with Hershey in the AHL and 14-12-4 with a 3.34 gaa.  It
praised his new coach, Bill Barber, with his improvment and had some quote
from him (I believe) that goalies "tend to be late bloomers."  I assume he
means that Neil has had some time to adjust to the pro game and is now on
his way to a decent shot at the NHL.  Hopefully he will get there in time
to say that RPI has two top goalies, Puppa and Little, one of these days!
