Alumni Game?

1 to 2 hours. Usually the older players get tired and want to stop, but with so many young players returning it may go longer.

Seems to me in some years they played two periods, and the periods were something like 30 minutes long with the clock always running.

So, how was the alumni game?  Anything of note?  Who attended and played?

Notable players (chime in if I miss any):

Leneveu
Vesce
Paolini
Baby
Iggulden
Francis (and some others from 2000-2002 I couldn't quite make out)

Apologies for any typos.

Aside from Garrow, does anyone know who those guys are without the years next to their names?  Presumedly, they're not alumni.

I suspect Robb Cutting is from the family that owns the Cutting auto dealerships in Ithaca.  Big Cornell hockey fans and supporters.

I'm disappointed Murray & the McRae's did not attend!:`(   Do they announce the list of players that will be attending every year before the game?

A number of local Ithacans (that I know), either having grown up in Ithaca or are now longtimers:

Tony Eisenhut '88 - Played on the team- only a bit on varsity
Gred Hartz - Currently with the Tompkins Trust Company
Tom Fox '71 - A long time local goalie in the adult leagues
Roger Dennis - IC grad and a highschool hockey goalie (IHS class of '68)
Garth Dennis - Played for the Gunnery Prep school and is a UVM grad
Robb Cutting - UNH Grad and a member of the Cutting Automobile Family (Dave '50)
Wayne Stokes '76 - Owns Sand Carved Signs in Ithaca - One tough player in his day!
Scott Garrow - Current CU Asst Coach

Larry '72

So Tom Fox never played for the varsity team?

[Robb]

At least he spells his first name properly!

::banana::  (sorry, just hadn't seen the banana in a while and needed a fix)

[Tom Fox]

Only in my dreams!

[ACM]

The class of '71 is the only class during whose tenure the team never lost a game at Lynah Rink.

Arthur Mintz '71

Anybody know if Chartrand is hanging up the skates or if he's going to try to play again?  I was surprised that he didn't either play in the AHL or in Europe last season given that he's not necessarily in the Kings plans.

Also, if anybody spoke to the early 90's guys - Derraugh, Nobel, Deschamps, Dragon - I'd be curious what they're up to.

Eric Hansen '92

We sat with Deschamps and his family at the Saturday night banquet a few years ago.  IIRC, he's now a dentist.
