You're right, it was Krygier. Except now I can't remember the NHLer who played at Northern Arizona (I was misremembering him as Krygier).

Didn't McMeekin play for Trail? Speaking of which, anyone know where Brian is playing this year? Hockeydb.com lists him playing several games in the ECHL, but no longer on an active roster.

I believe the Northern Arizona dude was Greg Adams (one of the two). I could go to hockeydb.com and look it up, but I'm too lazy...

If you click on "team histories" or something like that, there's a way to see all the alumni of any particular team.

It was Adams, although Bob Beers spent a year there before transfering to Maine.

Brian did play for Trail. He is now with the Florida Everblades; he was traded in November from the Trenton Titans for cash. I think he still splits time with the Titans but I don't know for sure. All the '02 graduates were profiled in the latest edition of the Cornell Alumni Magazine.

Edit: Let it be noted that I don't think he is playing anywhere anymore. Refer to this article:

Kind of a shame that a guy with that much defensive ability didn't get a better shot at the next level.

501 was an overtime breakaway gamewinner tonight. Watch for it -- the #6 SportsCenter play of the day.

In fact that was goal 502--tying Mullen. 501 tied the game with 12.5 seconds left. Plus two assists. Joe's on a roll.B-]

Darn it, you guys beat me to posting this! I had the pleasure of watching this game live. Of course, I was sitting with a Sharks' fan, so I couldn't be too overtly excited with the way it ended! It was great to finally see Nieuwy play live and get the 1st star of the game.

Good thing he got the 500 Gorilla off of his back.

Now, it's time to dance. Who else would like to (maybe) see the cup in Dunbar's again?

Not if the Devils would have to win in order to make that possible. ::yark::

Come on Josh! The Devils are much better than the Rangers, the Isles and all the other eastern US teams - esp better than that horrid Boston! :-D

That doesn't mean I have to WANT them to win. :-P

If Milbury deals for Joe then by all means let's bring the Cup back to Uniondale...
