Clips from THE HOCKEY NEWS, 12 November 1993 BIG MAN ON CAMPUS Who will replace Maine's Kariya as college hockey's best player? [...commentary deleted...] Jim Carey, Wisconsin Brian Holzinger, Bowling Green Kaj Linna, Boston Univ Neil Little, RPI Mike Murray, UMass-Lowell Jamie Ram, Mich Tech Shawn Reed, Colorado College Steve Shields, Michigan Sean Tallaire, Lake Superior Marko Tuomainen, Clarkson The article included brief comments on each player. Obvious errors including calling Ram "the nation's busiest goalie in 1992-93, playing 36 games." Shields started 39 of Michigan's 40 games last season. Another blunder was this comment: "It's amazing Shields doesn't receive more recognition." The guy has been plastered all over almost every college hockey publication, including the current covers of DROP THE PUCK Weekly Update and COLLEGE HOCKEY JOURNAL. (Admittedly, there is a "time" element considering THN had already went to print, but Shields has been a media darling since mid-summer.) Note: I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, just that he isn't "unrecognized." Maybe the media is making up for dogging Shields for the past three years. :-) John H U Mich
