Both players, DAVE Spehar and Chris Locker, are juniors at Duluth East. It's probably a bit early for speculation about where they might play college hockey. The most prominent junior in the 1993 state tournament was Jamie Langenbrunner of Cloquet. He got signed to a contract by the Winnipeg Jets, passed up his senior year of high school, and went to play junior hockey in Canada. Just goes to show, anything can happen. -- Erik GO GOPHERS!
