Catamount Brothers Play To “The Sound Of Music’
BURLINGTON—After being two of the most active undergraduates on the University of Vermont campus for three years, twin brothers Tom and Mike Maher are ready to get down to business. The Maher brothers will be putting all of their extra-curricular activities behind them this year and concentrate on taking the Catamounts back to the Eastern College Athletic Conference playoffs. Getting involved is something that has come naturally for the twins from West St. Paul, MN. Since their days at Henry Sibley High School, when they spent as much time playing in the school’s bands as they did playing hockey, free time has been a rare commodity for the Mahers. “We grew up in an area around Minneapolis, where it just booms with music,” said Mike, who is serving as Vermont’s captain this season.…
FAN FORUM
I AM A very big fan of the St. Louis Blues. On Oct. 24,1984, I met a man who I will not forget. After a game between the Boston Bruins and Blues I was waiting outside to get autographs from the Blues’players when a man approached me and started talking to me.

Flyers Say Final Farewell To Fallen Friend
PHILADELPHIA—A mist drifted down from a mottled pewter sky, and a church bell tolled as the Philadelphia Flyers and friends gathered within Old Swedes Church to bid a private farewell to Pelle Lindbergh. When the bell stopped ringing, footsteps could be heard on the cobblestone walk outside the church, as Lindbergh’s mother, father and fiancee, Kerstin Pietzsch, solemnly walked toward the entrance. From the door of a white Lincoln limousine, they walked past a small, simple graveyard and into the church. Inside were Lindbergh’s teammates, other members of the Flyers’organization, representatives from the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles and Sixers, and a few members of other National Hockey League organizations. They had all come to pay a private tribute to a fallen team. mate, and friend. On the following night, before a game with the…
