Well...I can tell you that Jay Valade (not Valde - was this in the
paper down there?), who was a forward at Northeastern during the 2
years I was a manager (1986-88), went on to go to work for NU as a
member of the crew at Matthews Arena and has been driving the Zamboni
there for a couple of years now.  So I think it is very likely that
these are one and the same person.
