I am a bit suprised people are unaware of Jr. College Hockey. SUNY Canton is pretty popular in "North Country" and are coached by the legendary Terry Martin - or are they - I heard he retired this year. Many talented players have come from the Canton, NY program and being that it is in the backyards of St. Lawrence and Clarkson - it gets its share of exposure. Here in Buffalo - Erie Community College has had hockey for a long time. In fact the coach - Ralph Galanti Jr. otherwise known as "Chico" has over 200 wins behind the bench. They play there home games at Leisure Rinks in Orchard Park, NY. They are no longer a member of AHCA and have played a mix schedule of community colleges and club teams. There is talk in the area that they may build a rink on their "south" campus - Coach Galanti is also the Athletic Director there. College of DuPage , Chicago, used to have a decent program. But... its no longer exists. Of course Bottineau always has a strong team. Two others in northern NY - North Country Community College and Clinton Community College, which is coached by Canisius College graduate Stu Mitchell. Brian Cavanaugh
