I know of one clear case of this.  Approx. 15 years ago RPI had a very bright
player named Don Armstrong.  He was also a very solid player (might have worn
the "C" his senior year but I'm not certain).  He elected to continue
both his education and hockey career by playing at one of the Canadian univer-
sities while attending med school.  That must have been quite a juggling act....
