> What players from ECAC teams left school early to join the pros? Cornell's outstanding sophomore goalie, Parris Duffus, jumped to the Blues organization. He was listed on their training roster in THN, and I caught a reference to his playing in the Blues game against the Lightning. Duffus joins Joe Nieuwendyk, Brian Hayward, Corrie D'Alessio, Joe Dragon, and Alex Nikolic as Cornellians on NHL training rosters. A "Mark Major" is also listed, but I'm almost certain he is not the man from the Big Red's 1986 ECAC Championship team. Surprisingly, Dan Ratushny was not listed on the Winnipeg Jets training roster. Considering that the Jets had regarded him as a blue chip prospect, I don't know why - injury perhaps? Greg Somerville Let's Go Red!
