These are the players whose careers
I follow most closely. Many (*) are former Clarkson students I taught in
1993-94; some are Clarksonians I met while teaching
there; some I met only after leaving Clarkson. Some have retired from
professional hockey; some never played in the pros. In following the Golden
Knights after college, I've been able to meet some of their teammates.

# 29 Josh Bartell D |
Josh graduated in
1996 and is an admissions counsellor at SUNY
Potsdam. He has volunteer-coached the Knights and does an outstanding
job as radio color commentator for their games. He and his lovely wife
Margaret have three beautiful boys. My guess is they'll all be Knights
some day.
