There is an outstanding feature article on Joe Juneau in today's (12/22/93) Boston Globe sports section, and I just wanted to let people know in case they wanted to seek it out. The relation to college hockey is that a large part of the article deals with Juneau's experiences at RPI and includes quotes from Mike Addesa and Tony Hejna among others. It was perhaps most interesting to read that Juneau said he was so miserable his first two years at RPI, he was thinking of transferring or quitting. Then Buddy Powers took over before Juneau's junior year (89-90). It seemed that Juneau did not fit in well under Addesa's system, and Addesa is quoted as saying that he wanted to make Juneau a more complete player and improve his work ethic (Addesa's teams being known for their work ethic). However, it is funny to read in the middle of the article that Addesa says he wanted Juneau to shoot more (and Buddy did have him work on this, too), while at the end, Bruins' GM Harry Sinden says that he thinks Juneau has become more of a playmaker than he was at RPI. Did Harry even see Juneau at RPI? :-) But the reason the article is so good is that it gives you an insight on Juneau the person, which I suppose in turn gives you a good perspective on Juneau the player. I don't think it's anything many of us don't already know, but it's just very well-written and does a great job of explaining how Juneau is not your stereotypical partying hockey player. The quarter (or 50 cents) you spend on the paper will be well worth it for this article alone. Wish I could remember who wrote it so I could give him/her a plug here. --- --- Mike Machnik [log in to unmask] Cabletron Systems, Inc. *HMM* 11/13/93 <<<<<< Color Voice of the (7-7-1) Merrimack Warriors WCCM 800 AM >>>>>>
