John Haeussler listed the stats for the first three years of Michigan's class of 1997 and asked if any other classes from other schools can be compared to it: > NO NAME POS YR GP G A PTS PIM +/- > 9 Brendan Morrison C JR 112 71 125 196 107 66 > 19 Jason Botterill LW JR 108 67 58 125 354 48 > 18 John Madden F JR 118 54 63 117 67 70 > 28 Warren Luhning RW JR 114 50 62 112 286 70 > 15 Mike Legg F JR 118 39 61 100 66 51 > 6 Harold Schock D JR 121 10 50 60 152 96 > 27 Blake Sloan D JR 118 10 43 53 163 81 > 4 Chris Frescoln D JR 63 2 17 19 106 45 > 5 Peter Bourke D JR 55 2 11 13 28 33 The following is RPI's Class of 1986 (the class that entered in 1982) with statistics for their first three years. It does not include Jeff Prendergast who graduated with that class although he entered a year earlier. It also does not include transfers John Tiano (from BU who played his Junior and Senior years with this class) and Jeff Whiteside (from NMU who played sporadically and probably was considered as a member of this class also). (Sources: RPI 85-86 media guide for Carter, Jooris, and Dark and the 85-86 Sporting News Hockey Register for the others.) I do not think that RPI kept +/- stats at the time or at least I could not find them.

(One could debate the quality of competition, especially after their Sophomore season when the ECAC broke up into the ECAC and HEA.) Note that Servinis missed most of his Sophomore season while trying out for the Canadian Olympic team. He was cut, despite being the second leading scorer in the pre-Olympic tour, after an injury and returned to RPI. Note also that three of the above did not return for their senior season (Oates, Servinis, and Nienhuis). Interestingly, five of these six played at least a couple of games in the NHL, all except for Jooris who played for Canada's National team and for a short time in the AHL after leaving RPI.
