PRE-DRAFT AWARDS AND HONORS
Miscellaneous: Left the
University of Pennsylvania after freshman year to turn pro. Ran into problems
at Penn because other Ivy League coaches insisted his years in the OHA gave
him semi-pro status and therefore made him ineligible to play in Ivy League.
Dispute over his eligibility carried on through season and he never played at Penn.
The experience of going to college was a positive one, however, and many years
later he vehemently insisted that his own son play college hockey at Maine
instead of going into major junior. |
