I just noticed in the paper that Hershey acquired goalie Les Kuntar (formerly of SLU I believe). If memory serves me correctly (and it sometimes does not!) don't they have Neil Little and Aaron Israel, or at least Little. Early on in the college season, people were reporting how these players were doing in the minors. Any updates? In particular, Little got off to a poor start, and I think Israel was doing fine. Also people like Xavier Majic from RPI are of interest to me. I believe he signed with the Canadien organization. What triggered all this was the IHL all-star game (from Las Vegas!) on PRIME last nite (if you could call it a hockey game, I turned it off at halftime when the score was 7-6) and I noticed Tony Hrkac playing. Anybody comment on why he hasn't made it to the big show yet? I know there are a lot of players who probably make a career of the minors and are happy, but I thought he had enough talent to make it to the NHL. I know the IHL views itself as a rival to the NHL rather than a minor but .... On that topic, it seems the SF Spiders are ready to start as a new franchise in the IHL! So in the future, visiting SF will not only include a cable car ride, but presumably a chance to watch hockey without driving all the way to San Jose. Tony Buffa RPI '64
