Men:
 
     1. Lane MacDonald, Harvard.
        Quickness, passing, and a clinical finisher.  When Lane was on his
        game, he was incredible to watch.  Two steps and he was gone.  I
        remember a NCAA playoff game against Bowling Green at Bright where
        he was on fire all night.  In the third period, BG was tired of his
        act, so one of the defensemen opted for what looked to be a safe short
        outlet pass cross-ice.  No sooner had he let it go then Lane with his
        speed had somehow intercepted it.
 
     2. Dave Debol, Michigan.
        Fast, good finisher, great playmaker.  It was great to watch him
        set up the speedy Pat Hughes.  The pair scored many wild goals.
 
     3. The Brotens, Minnesota.
        Skill, speed, the will to win.  While I have seen a number of
        Gopher players, I feel these guys are representative of what's
        great about Minnesota hockey.  I spent many an enjoyable evening
        watching hockey the way it can be played.
 
     4. Badger Bob, Wisconsin.
        His coaching led to some of the most thoughtful and entertaining
        games of hockey I have watched.  Badger hockey under BJ was as
        exciting as it gets.
 
     5. Scott Fusco, Harvard.
        The man I would most want with the puck if my team needed a goal.
        It seemed to me, everytime Harvard gave up an important goal, Fusco
        would take the next faceoff and just skate it right down the ice
        and score, with a choice group of defenders hanging on for the ride.
        He was also on one of my favorite power plays of all time; a Bill
        Cleary rotation scheme, which resembled a large Ferris wheel.
 
Women:
 
     1. Char Joslin, Harvard.
        The woman I would most want with the puck if my team needed a goal.
        One of the better shots I have seen in hockey.  The will to win
        was so strong, if the team needed a lift, it did not make any
        difference that she had been on the ice most of the game, she would
        streak up the ice and score.
 
     2. Cammi Granto, Providence.
        A prolific scorer on a scintillating team.  World Cup team player
        who help lead the way to the silver medal in 1992.
 
     3. Julie Sasner, Harvard.
        Tremendous slap shot.  Stylish player who was an excellent team player
        was well.
 
     4. Karyn Bye; Colleen Coyne ... UNH.
        Speedy, skillful players who sworm all over the ice.
 
     5. Sandra Whyte, Harvard.
        Quick, great passer, and quality sniper.  When she was on her game,
        she reminded me alot of Guy Lafleur; break away speed, clever play-
        maker, crafty scoring touch.
