The following three hockey players who will be attending RPI next year were taken in the NHL draft yesterday. 63 Bryan Masotta G Hotchkiss School Ottawa 127 Doug Battaglia LW Brockville Braves Detroit 252 Chris Aldous D Northwood Prep Montreal Interestingly, Aldous was not projected as being drafted in the most recent NHL scouting report, while Eric Healey who was projected as a draftee was skipped over (unless I overlooked him on the list, which is easy to do). I guess that this is par for the course. Also this means that RPI has lost due to graduation three NHL draftees, one goalie (Little), one defenseman (Layzell), and one forward (Majic) and gained incoming drafted recruits at the same positions. I guess that all of this is conditional on Buddy Powers not being able to to take these players along with him to BG if and when he goes there. [Of course, all of BG's scholarships are probably already filled, and we all know that Jerry York won't be able to take anyone along with him to BC :-) :-) :-) ] Ralph Baer RPI '68, '70, '74
