      Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

      Very cool thread! I had no idea that there are so many NMU alumni currently playing professional hockey. I would say that this is a great testament to the quality of the NMU program. Thank you very much for the updated list, I will check from time to time to see if there are any further updates. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about chickasaw culture? I have been really interested in learning all I can, please let me know if you know of any good resources. Thank you.

            Yikes. The AHL of the KHL?


            List should be updated so far. Missing a lot of the guys headed to the ECHL, AHL, and those in Europe.

                      Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

                      Mike Santorelli is currently on IR with a shoulder injury while Mark Olver is still on the Avs roster due to being placed on the IR with a head injury. In regards to Olver nothing has been published in regards to what the head injury is. So as of opening weekend the Cats have no players on an active roster in the NHL.

                        Rough start to the season for Wildcat alumni. Along with both NHL'ers only staying on the rosters due to injuries, and only three in the AHL, Greger Hanson was released by the Florida Everblades today. Not looking good this season for alums.

                              Someone talked with his dad a month ago and he said Mark got hurt in practice, taking a skate to the head. I guess it was a pretty serious laceration, so Colorado is playing it safe.
