KeithK Wrote: In theory this could allow some stickpiling of talent beyond the current scholarship limit, as long as you have a sufficient number of smart kids. This could hurt the more academically rigorous schools playig D1 hockey (e.g. RPI, CC, Clarkson) because it will be harder at those schools to achieve the necessary GPA cutoff and come off of the athletic budget. It could also imby ursusminor - Hockey

I could not log on to the USCHO main site or the Boards from about noon on Saturday to a few minutes ago using internet explorer either from my DSL account or from my AOL dialup.

I believe he signed a 1 million dollar rookie contract, which was a ton of money back then, didn't realize it went to an undrafted free agent. That's correct -- he wasn't drafted. I think that he got on the order of 0.5 million dollars but I could be wrong. Detroit signed at least four college free agents in 1985. Beby ursusminor - Hockey

A question for Cornell fans. Is the Cornell-Nanaimo connection due to Bill Bestwick, or was it already established prior to Bestwick arriving?

You might want to post on . It is a minor league hockey cards board but often mentions college card sets. It is part of the Hockey Database run by RPI alum Ralph Slate.
