----- Begin Included Message ----- Former, LSSU Laker Jim Dowd was also called up by the New Jersey Devils early this week. It's his second trip up this year, or so I'm told. James Old ----- End Included Message ----- And he had a goal and three assists in his first game. Here in central New Jersey Jim is a local hero, having played his high-school hockey at near-by Brick Township High. Everytime he's called up, the papers are full of local-boy-makes-good stories. From what I remember, LSSU was the only school to recruit Jim. I was reminded of Jim when I read a post from last week pooh-pooh'ing high school hockey in western Pennsylvania. They actually play good hockey all across the nation, even in central New Jersey.
