Quoted from the Mpls. Star Tribune, WCHA notes, 10/30/92:
Best line of opening weekend
At last week's Gophers Blueline Club, coach Doug Woog discussed the
eligibility of Ulvis Katlaps, a Latvian who played at Dynamo Riga in
the Soviet Union's elite league and will turn 25 in March, but was
cleared to play at Wisconsin. Later, Woog said how surprised he was
to lose underclassman Mike Muller to a pro assignment with the Moscow
Dynamo team. North Dakota coach Gino Gasparini said: "If Muller does
well enough in Moscow, maybe, in a couple of years, he'll wind up
playing in Wisconsin."
