     I was still in school (at RPI) when a friend and I went to the Albany
     River Rats/Cornwall Aces game at the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany.
     Dunham (Rats) and Snow (Aces) opposed each other on that night.  I
     think it was late in the 1993-94 season, after the Olympics (but it
     might have been shortly before the Games, too).
 
     It ended in a tie, 2-2 I believe.  The Albany press (Times-Union) made
     as much about the fact that the two were the Team USA goalies as the
     UMaine connection.  I might possibly still have the clipping, but I
     seriously doubt it.
 
     How were Snow's rights obtained by Philadelphia?  Cornwall was a
     Quebec farm team, and I recall Snow's NHL debut came with the
     Nordiques.
 
     Coincidentally, I was at another Rats game early in the 1994-95 season
     (vs. Binghamton, where Jean-Yves Roy was playing at the time, and
     maybe the Ferraros?) when Dunham was in net.  He was having a really
     rough night, and one of my colleagues from the Albany area was riding
     Mike pretty hard.  Finally, a guy in front of us said something to the
     effect of, "Would you mind knocking it off? He's my brother."  After I
     apologized for my friend's behavior, we ended up chatting about
     college hockey in general and Dunham's career in particular for a
     while.  He was a nice guy.  There's a strong family resemblance, too.
