Well, I'm not familiar with the ECHL but it is most certainly Clarkson '91 alumnus Mark Green. Speaking of that, I also heard that a recent SLU grad (Jamie something I believe) had a shot at making the Ottawa Senators. Concerning college grads in the Detroit system: ---Wisconsin ('90) grad Gary Shuchuk has a very real chance of making the big club. ---Northern Michigan ('91?) grad Dallas Drake has been burning up the league and is the team's leading scorer in the preseason. He had a goal and two assists on Friday night as well as Sunday night. ---Bruisers Jim Cummins (Michigan St) and forechecking demon Marc Potvin (Bowling Green) are among the players fighting (not literally) for maybe 2 or 3 roster spots (there are 9 forwards competing for those spots). The others will be likely be sent down to (yay!) Adirondack. (Shuchuk was Adir.'s MVP and leading scorer last year) Also, Harvard ('91) grad Peter Ciavaglia burned up the AHL as he led all rookies in scoring with 91 points. In fact, he just barely lost out for rookie of the year to Felix Potvin. He has a decent shot at being in Buffalo this season. Maine ('90?) grad Scott King went 14-14-3 with a 3.53 GAA for Adirondack. Cornell ('91) defenseman Kent Manderville was the AHL's second leading scoring defenseman in the playoffs with (5 goals) 14 points. (Plus I mentioned that New Jersey assigned Doug Dadswell, David Emma and Scott Pellerin to Utica) BRI ----- Bri Farenell CONGRATS TO 1992 CALDER CUP Clarkson '95 CHAMPIONS [log in to unmask] THE ADIRONDACK RED WINGS rec.sport.hockey's AHL contact ALSO: 1981, 1986 AND 1989 CHAMPS ----- "Eleven Israelis were dead.
