According to the radio announcers, each player researched "their" number.  Then they got to decide who was the "best" player to wear that number.
A pretty cool idea... something that should be done every 10 years or so.
 All the talking heads in the media  (espn and the like)  are way to quick to label someone "the best". I think you need time to reflect and compare players, especially when comparing players from different eras. Sometimes a player's impact on a team is not readily apparent until after he/she has left the team. one should take into account the "before, during and after" years when judging a players impact on a team and/or  league.

I'm curious who Sawada chose.   I always liked how Stienstra played, even if his numbers weren't gaudy.

This is reminiscent of something Schafer did in his first season 9 years ago: had each player research someone who had worn their number.

McCutcheon's #10 reads "Hughes."  John wore that as a sophomore.  What did Ryan wear?

Sawada's wearing "Ferguson" for twin brother Dave.  I hope Cook chose Doug.

Interesting choice, since he only played 2 seasons after transferring.

Best known 11 (now, perhaps not then) among the ECAC championship teams is Craig Brush.

Interestingly, the 1967-70 teams had small rosters.  No numbers above 22 except Andy Crowley's 23 in 1968.

He did it his first season with the whole team, but he has also done it with incoming freshmen every season - as far as I know, still does.  Goes along with the trophy-polishing; instills respect for where the program's been.

Well, we did get "LeNeveu" playing for sixty minutes of this game. :-P

Hard to complain about picking a guy who scored 113 goals in his career, at a goal a game rate, who is the leading goal scorer at Cornell.  Brock, as when he played, doesn't get a lot of attention from the team historians.  I suspect for Charlie it was a tough choice (there was a time when players wanted the number of their favorite hockey hero - I bet Paul Varteressian had a tough choice since so many guys would have wanted to wear #9 - Gordie Howe's and Bobie Hull's number).

It was nice to see #7 with "Tredway" on the back keep up that goal a game scoring last night.  It must be a great feeling wearing that sweater and knowing that you are allowed to carry on the history of so many great players.
