Mike, I think you may be mixing up Jarmo and Janne a wee bit. Jarmo, since he has a job in the US (i.e. playing for the Bruins) he is exempt from military service. He may have gone home to play on his national team, but then again a lot of pro's do that, esp. the Canadians. Janne, however, came to Clarkson for less than a year and then returned to Finland. Since he was not employed in the US, he was forced into military service. The lasI heard he was playing on a team within the military. I may be wrong on some points, but I do believe that Jarmo will be back w/ the Bruins this year, probably on the Maine farm team 8-(. Ted Weiler Clarkson U. '94 "Let's go KNIGHTS!!!!"
