In reply to Mike Machnik on Bill Cleary: I agree with you that Cleary had his own view of hockey priorities. My comments were mostly intended as an observation on the current debate--thanks for qualifying them. I think Cleary sometimes viewed Harvard as an offshoot of Olympics training camps, and I think his own non-NHL history certainly inflected this (previous coach Cooney Weiland did coach a Stanley Cup-winning Bruins team). However, this still doesn't explain to me why it should make a difference if players return to the college after the Olympics (I know Mike's post was not trying to explain this).
