Carol:

That is certainly at Minnesota spin to the US Hockey Hall of Fame inductee
announcement.  No doubt the Woogster was a very good college hockey player,
and he certainly achieved a certain level of accomplishment as a coach.
However his accomplishments have to pale in comparison to the Fusco
brothers, both of whom not only were All-Americans but won the Hobeys as
well.
