No way...

[Section A]

Which reminds me....ever noticed how evil Miroslav Satan actually looks? Scary!

But Mike Ricci still gets the "Ugliest Dude in Hockey" award.  No contest.

And somebody at ESPN was having fun with the Satan link.  His player profile number is 666.

The paren within the URL above makes it non-functional.  Here is a direct link to the By Season frameset:

Thanks for catching that, Greg.  It's fixed above, I think.

 [Q]Al is absolutely right about that class ('67). Sometimes in their freshman year there were as many people at the frosh game as the varsity. You really knew something good was happenning then.[/Q]

Wasn't that the year that the frosh won the preseason frosh-varsity game?

I also have had the privilege of working with Murray in development, and he is a genial, professional, and absolutely hysterical guy.  I consider him a friend and a mentor, and he was my co-pilot when I went to solicit my first $1 million gift for Cornell (which we slam-dunked, by the way).

After playing, I think Murray reffed ECAC games for a while as well.

I don't remember. Al, can you help?

Beeeej:
When you have a law degree under your belt, we may yet see a planned giving development officer out of you :-D  That is a great story about you and Murray going out on a solicitation call.

So is it true that the first $1 Million is the hardest?   ::screwy::

[Al DeFlorio]

I don't remember either, Jim, but it wouldn't surprise me.  

The 1963-4 team scored 77 goals and had a total of 183 points for the season.  The following year, the sophomore class alone scored 113 goals and had 284 points.  Ned brought with him from RPI a goalie (Al McNally) and a forward (Bob Leaf?  Help!), both of whom would have been ineligible in 1963-4.  He may have done some kind of goalie rotation in the freshmen-varsity game with McKibbon, McNally, and Quarrie (the last a highly-regarded recruit who had the misfortune of seeing Ken Dryden arrive just in time to bench him for his senior year).

Re the original post and great hockey names:  I always liked the hockey name "Beukeboom" (sp?).  THAT sounded like a hockey name.

And as for great Cornell names, there never has been one so much fun to yell after a goal as "Sancimino!"

I think "Shields" is a pretty good name for a goalie, but that got me wondering whether there were any goalies out there with the last name "Wall".  According to HockeyDB there were two of them in the WHL.  Must not have been real Walls, though, as they each played 3 or 4 games (though HockeyDB does note that stats may be incomplete for goalies).

As far as names that stand out in the ECAC, Stonehouse wasn't bad (as a name), Capouch really was (how do you say that?).  There's always "We want Boo-yah" when it comes to refs.

My brother and I did attempt a cheer about a Princeton player (#9) a couple of years back:  "Hey Prime, nine is not a Prime number."  Pity we didn't coordinate better... oh well. ::help::

Weber State had a goalie a few years back named Sam Jackson.  His nickname was, of course, Stonewall.

I have done $250,000 to $500,000, but have not successfully asked and closed a $1M gift yet.  My day will come....:-}

Somebody in Section A yelled something similar to Prime from Princeton earlier this year at Lynah. I found it very funny. But then again, I'm a dork....:-D
