For those who were wondering (I hope there's at least one) ...

Al got the answer to the assistant coach question.

Nobody's answered the goalie number question yet.

I'll even take some very small amount of "credit" for Jay's hiring.  

Seeing the success BU was having with Boston-area kids in the early 70s, with considerable effort I enticed Dick Bertrand to come to Boston and dragged him to a few high school games.  It opened his eyes and he hired an assistant, Riley, with a Boston-area connection.  I wouldn't say Cornell has had a lot of recruiting success in this part of the world, but at least the door was finally opened.  IIRC, the first "name" recruit from here was Steve Hennessy, '80, from Thayer Academy, and a captain on the 1980 championship team.
