    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.

          First multi-Cup winner was Brian Engblom ('77-'79) also with the Habs.
          Last was Justin Schultz with the Penguins.
          I always thought Bob Johnson was a UM alum.

          The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

              It appears that Thomas's name was not engraved on the Cup nor was Engblom's in 1977.

                Huh? Oh, wait... I understand -->It's the old MN reading comprehension problem again.

                See, it says alums plus Badger Bob. That "plus" indicates to normal people that the second thing isn't included in the first.

                  Good catch. It's from a list that upon further review is "members of Stanley Cup winning teams" which as it turns out isn't the same as having your name on the Cup. Looking in to it further it seems around the fringes, getting your name on the Cup could be a little arbitrary. Thomas didn't play in the playoffs, (unsurprisingly, Ken Dryden started every game) and was left off. Oddly, Engblom DID play in the playoffs in '77, but was also left off.

                  Current rules (clubs submit a list) would no doubt have had both of them on. Davis Drewiske was with the Kings all year but only appeared in 9 games. He's on the Cup.

                  So--> 14 Badgers, PLUS Badger Bob. Brian Engblom is the first in '78.

                      To the original question, unless I goofed, Miami alums in the playoffs include these 8:
                      Kuraly, Wingels - Boston
                      Martinez - LA
                      Belpedio - Minnesota
                      Coleman, Greene, NJ,
                      R Smith - Las Vegas
                      Roslovic - Winnepeg

                          John Tortorella. He was a coach though.

                          For players it is Dustin Penner, I believe. He is on there twice, with two different teams(Ducks and Kings).
