Alumni in the Pros - Where are They

Jim Hyla · October 19, 2009, 07:54:07 PM

So, I've wanted to do this for a while. Once you get my age you can't remember where everyone is playing/coaching. So, if you guys get me the info, I'll post where our alumni are working. I'll consider any gainful employment in the hockey field, playing, coaching, or anything else. Here or overseas.

NHL
Bettman, Gary - NHL Commissioner [I didn't know whether to include him, not a hockey alum]
Bitz, Byron - Boston Bruins
McCutcheon, Brian - Buffalo Sabres Asst. Coach
Moulson, Matt - NY Islanders
Murray, Douglas - San Jose Sharks
Nieuwendyk, Joe - Dallas Stars GM
O'Byrne, Ryan - Montreal Canadiens
Vesce, Ryan - San Jose Sharks - 11/13 Worcester (AHL), 11/21 San Jose

AHL

I haven't decided what to do with guys going up and down. Do I just put where they are when they move, or track their movements?

Here's one I did a couple years ago. It'd be a good starting point for coaches and looking to see if any of the guys playing in europe are still playing:

With a cursory glance, it looks like Dan Pegoraro is now playing for Frisk Asker in Norway. PC Drouin continues to play for the Fort Wayne Komets of the IHL. In the coaches column, Dan Ratushny signed a one year contract to coach EHC Olten in the Swiss National B League.

I suppose it's obvious, but Schafer and Jones are alumni coaching hockey. :-P I know Hannah recently left Sacred Heart; any other alumni coaching in the NCAA ranks?

Joe Nieuwendyk - Dallas Stars GM

Tony Romano - Brideport

Does he count as an alumnus? We have other guys on the list who didn't graduate so I would say he should be included.

Also Ryan Kindret - Kalamazoo Wings (IHL)

Sure. In that vein, Matt McKeown (who ended up at Fredonia) plays for the Laredo Bucks of the CHL.
