Someone who was at the CHA lunch today said that Schafer noted he had to "remove someone from the team."  No reason given.

Been poking around the last few days. Seems no more info. Having to be removed from the team is a baaaad way of putting it and makes me think it's possible something unsavory happened. Visa doesn't make sense, I don't think there's a minimum GPA requirement to stay rostered, either, and I doubt it's something tuition-related. Unless Steele wanted to go to another hockey program where he'd get more playing time? But this is all fairly baseless speculation, so take it at face value.

I definitely had my sights higher from 1990-1991 before we lost Manderville and Ratushny to the Olympics, never to return. maybe unrealistic but true all the same.

Given that Kent Manderville scored a huge goal in the 1991 NCAA Tournament, I feel like you have some facts out of whack here.

My favorite Mandy moment. Yost was *soooo* quiet after that goal, with the exception of a small group of out-of-towners.

That was a LONG train ride from Syracuse to Ann Arbor.

I distinctly remember early in his freshman season Manderville blew through the entire defense using his signature Crane Kick maneuver as if they were pylons.  Even casual fans had heard some rumors of a "super freshman," which was unheard of in the age before social media and Elite Prospects, and we all just looked at each other like "this kid is going to score 60 goals a year."  

Funny story: Cornell taught him the boring, responsible defense that kept him in the NHL > 10 years.  And man he hated every second of it.  And everybody thought this was a case of "the only person who can hold Michael Jordan under 30 points a night is Dean Smith," but coaching knew best.  

I leave any present day implications as an exercise for the reader.

I remember those 747 turns he used to take. Start at the red line, go behind our net, then by the time he hit the red line again, he was flying. Too bad it took half the rink to get there.

i didn't go to ann arbor for this so i've never seen the tying/winning goals. i want to see those highlights very badly.

I'd have said aircraft carrier.  I don't know how a 6-2 kid played larger than Zdeno Chara.

According to CHN the ivies are not opting in to the house settlement. Probably a good thing in terms of hockey, a larger roster should help us a lot in future years, especially compared to the opt in teams that will be limited to 26.

Steele has signed with Sheffield in the British league.

Best of luck to him. Guess maybe it was playing time or just homesickness.

I wonder if Brit hockey has hooligans.

Edit: no, but apparently it needs them.

Walsh and Bancroft on the bruins dev camp roster. Walsh listed as limited to off ice activity, I think he had a cast/sling this spring so not surprising. Also on the roster is Ben Robertson.
