Just a clarification (or an attempt). Adam Wodon writes "St. Louis waited a year for Perrin to enter college so he could go in with him." This often-mentioned tidbit from the UVM media guide isn't quite true, according to St. Louis. Martin is five months older then Eric and in the same hockey age group, but was one year ahead of Eric in school. It was Martin's reluctance to jump straight from Midget AAA to college hockey that enabled them to enter UVM at the same time (Ryan Hughes and Joe Juneau are two who bypassed minor junior). In addition (and Jeff Schulman may be able to confirm this), I assume that Martin was still studying for his C.E.G.E.P. in the extra year - actually, maybe not; since he was playing minor junior in Ontario instead of Quebec. In any case, Martin told me in November that he didn't 'wait' for Eric. I guess the note in the media guide is one of the very few mistakes that UVM SID Maria McClelland has made- she's a great addition to the school. Geoff Howell The Trenton Times Drop the Puck
