        Yow, that Merrimack recruit is a big one.  Along those lines
        UW football recruit Rob Luertsema(sp?) was drafted in one of the
        late rounds of the NHL draft.  He is listed at 6'5" and 252 lbs.
        He may compete as a walk-on for the Badger hockey team.  I would
        not want to mess with a guy that big in front of the net.
 
        Unfortunately, I didn't get the Sunday newspaper so I can't list
        the other 2(?) UW recruits who were drafted.  Busy playing real
        football.  :-)
