Is it >Was Lowell a Division I program at that time? MacTavish did play at Lowell before turning pro with Boston in, I believe, 1979 (verification is at home). But Lowell did not move up to DivI until 1983-84, when they played a season as a DivI Independent before Hockey East was formed in 1984-85. Off the top of my head, I think MacTavish helped Lowell to one DivII title while he was there. The (former) Chiefs won 3 or 4 DivII titles in the late 70s and early 80s before moving up. They were truly dominant during that time, losing only a handful or two of games over a four- or five-year stretch. --- --- Mike Machnik [log in to unmask] Cabletron Systems, Inc. *HMM* 11/13/93 >>>>>> Dean Borrelli (C, Tacoma, AAA) .348, 31-for-89, 3 HR, 15 RBI <<<<<<
