And to look at how many made the NHL from Maine, as opposed to the others.
 
Which leads to my observation that it appears that once again this year,
Maine has the largest number of former players on the NHL opening game
rosters than any other NCAA program.
 
BTW, Krog couldn't make the Islanders roster.  But Chris Ferraro could
(even as a healthy scratch the first game).  Maybe if UNH ran that damn
Krog TV ad on Islander games, Milbury might get so sick of seeing it that
he would do anything (like the Hobey voters last year) just to stop it...
 
We got two, how about you ??

HOCKEY EAST ALL-DECADE TEAM ANNOUNCED
Maine Dominates Dream Team of the 90's
 
Boston, MA -- Six players from the University of Maine dominate the Hockey
East
All-Decade Team of the 1990's, which was announced today at the league's
Media
Day at Boston's FleetCenter. The Black Bears' prominence in the selections
made
by league head coaches comes as no surprise as Maine captured two national
championships and two Hobey Baker awards during the decade.
 
Heading the list are three Maine forwards, two of whom won college hockey's
most
prestigious individual honor. They are Paul Kariya, the 1993 Hobey winner;
Scott
Pellerin, the 1992 wInner; and Jim Montgomery, the main architect behind
Maine's
first NCAA title in 1993. Other Hobey Baker winners among the honorees are
Boston College forward David Emma (1991), Boston University forward Chris
Drury
(1998), and University of New Hampshire forward Jason Krog (1999).
 
Closing out the sextet from Maine are defensemen Chris Imes (the leading
vote-getter in the ballotting) and Keith Carney, and goaltender Garth Snow.
These defenders are joined by Boston College defenseman Greg Brown,
Northeastern
University defenseman Dan McGiiiis, and UMass Lowell netminder Dwayne
Roloson.
 
Eight of the selectees were recipients of Player of the Year honors. They
are
Brown (1990), Emma (1991), Pellerin (1992), Kariya (1993), Roloson (1994),
Chris
Imes (1995), Chris Drury (1997 and 1998), and Krog (1999). The only Player
of
the Year not chosen to the All-Decade squad was 1996 winner Jay Pandolfo of
Boston University. His competition? Five Hobey Baker winners and a player
with
301 career points (Montgomery).
