Today's local "Courier-Freeman," a.k.a. Curious Fishwrapper, reported that
Potsdam native Brian Putnam signed with UNH.  Brian, a post-graduate senior
(what the hell is a post-graduate senior?) at Northwood Prep chose UNH over
Clarkson and Boston College.  When at Potsdam Central, Putnam was a Northern
Athletic Conference All-Star.  Putnam, who suffered a severe groin
injury mid-way through the season, played on Northwood's top line with
Kevin Murphy (bound for Clarkson) and Trevor Hanson (Providence) last
season.  The only stats on Putnam were that he's 5'8" and 185 lbs.  UNH
now have three forwards and four defensemen committed.  Also headed to
Clarkson from Northwood is Josh Bartell, nephew of the former Golden
Knight defenseman Ross Bartell (I see Ross at a lot of Clarkson games).
 
Clarkson and UNH will start off the 1992-93 season together on Halloween
night at Clarkson's Cheel Arena.
