Merrimack is DivI in hockey and DivII in everything else.  It is not
unusual for hockey players to play another sport while at Merrimack.  Casey
Kesselring (1995 HE All-Rookie) is also on the lacrosse team.  Mark
Cornforth, 1995 grad, captained both the hockey and tennis teams and I
believe was MVP of both.
 
There is no truth to the rumor that Twin Towers John Jakopin and Steve
McKenna are thinking of trying out for the basketball team, although
McKenna is taller than the tallest Merrimack basketball player...
