Re: Your School's Alums in the Stanley Cup Playoffs
Vintage Minnesota Hockey states he signed with the Tulsa Oilers on their Eveleth Hockey First 50 Years 1903 - 1952 page, while Wikipedia has him playing 8 games for the AHA Chicago Shamrocks in 1930-31 on their page on him and the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, on their Bio page for him, states he played for the Rangers, an amateur club, while attending Eveleth Junior College after playing three years for Eveleth High School. The early NCAA Ice Hockey Rules and Official Ice Hockey Guides from the period have many photos of both college and high school teams, which I as far as I can determine are from the previous season. The 1929-30 guide has the Eveleth High School team photo with Mike Karakas front and center (and team captain according to the caption) and the 1930-31 guide has photos of both the Eveleth Junior College and High School teams, but he is not in either photo. Based on the photos and other information I have found it appears highly unlikely he played for the Eveleth Junior College team, but instead played for the Rangers and then the Chicago Shamrocks.
