Scott Thomas was a big part of the '91 Clarkson team.  I don't have stats
from that year, but  Thomas skated RW on the #1 line with LW Mike
Casselman and Freshman C Craig Conroy
 
Jason Currie was also a significant contributor in 90-91.  Clarkson
entered that year without an established #1 goaltender.  As a freshman,
Currie and Chris Rogles teamed up for a very successful Friday/Saturday
rotation that lasted the entire season.  Currie replaced Rogles in
game #1 against LSSU after they jumped to a large lead early in the 2nd
period.  Clarkson came back and won that game.
 
Jarmo Kekalanian left Clarkson at the end of the 89-90 season to sign
with the Boston Bruins.  I believe that he had a year of eligibility
left (many people disagree with me).  However, his younger brother Janne
played 8 games (9 goals and 9 assists) in 90-91 before returning to
Finland during the Thanksgiving break.  Who knows what kind of number he
could of put up.
 
Thinking back about Clarkson's 1991 semi-final appearance in the NC$$
Tournament is really getting me excited for this weekend.
