Here are some excerpts from the Minnesota Daily article "Ex-Gopher hockey
 player skates for Winnepeg Jets" which appeared yesterday. In early September,
 following extensive negotiations with the Jets, Peter Hankinson signed a
 two-year contract with an option year and an Olympic clause. He is presently
 playing in Moncton, New Brunswick with one of the Jets minor league teams the
 Moncton Hawks.
 Hankinson's Olympic clause will allow him to try out and play for the U.S.
 Olympic Team in 1992 in France.
 Hankinson was surprised to hear that freshman Joe Dziedzic of Minneapolis
 Edison was wearing his #9 jersey this year. "I thought that thing was hanging
 in the rafters at Mariucci" he joked.
 
 Other Gopher notes:
 Former Gopher Scott Bloom of Burnsville has been released by Quebec after being
  released by Calgary earlier this fall.  But Lance Pitlick (Philadelphia) and
 Tom Chorske (Montreal) continue to play with their respective NHL teams.
 Chorske netted a hat trick for the Canadians last week.  Jon Anderson has been
 released by Winnipeg.
 Former Gopher Dave Snuggerud is featured in a photo alongside Mario Lemieux
 in The Hockey News 1990-91 preview issue.
 
 The WCHA officially opens it's season Saturday night in Eveleth, Minn., when
 Minnesota-Duluth and Michigan Tech tangle in the annual Hall of Fame game.
 Former Gopher coach (and 1980 Olympic coach) Herb Brooks will be inducted into
 the Hall of Fame before the game.
 
 That's all there is for now.
