Students of the game vie for college awards
Scott Pellerin and Darrin Madeley didn’t face each other on the ice this season. But they will go head-to-head for the THN-Bauer U.S. College Player of the Year Award to be presented June 17 in Toronto. Pellerin, the Hobey Baker Award winner as the most outstanding player in U.S. college hockey, led the Maine Black Bears to the best record in Hockey East and the nation. The 22-year-old senior left winger, a third-round choice of the New Jersey Devils in 1989, finished fourth in league scoring with 23 goals and 33 points in 21 games. “He’s just a complete, diversified player,” said Maine coach Shawn Walsh. “The best part of Scott Pellerin comes out in the fact that during the regular season, in the three games after we lost, he had eight goals and…
Playoffs the big ticket
When a team finishes dead last in its division for five years in a row, you’d think attendance would be a problem. But that’s not the case in Quebec, where attendance has been strong despite the team’s darkest days. The Nordiques maintained a 13,666 average over 40 home games this season in the 15,399 capacity Colisee. A year ago, they averaged just over the 14,000 mark. To keep fans in their seats, the Nordiques’ marketing department has come up with a unique way of rewarding fans for their patience. Under the team’s new ticket plan, fans will be reimbursed a portion of their cost if Quebec fails to qualify for the playoffs next season. The Nordiques will increase individual tickets 15 per cent. Season ticket packages will go up 11 per cent but fans will…

Major housecleaning likely after embarrassing sweep
There’s nothing like a good sweep to kick off some housecleaning. And that’s precisely what Montreal Canadiens’ general manager Serge Savard was promising in the wake of his team’s four-game loss at the hands of the Boston Bruins in the Adams Division final. But where does Savard start? The Habs were shredded by the French-language media after the series. Wingers Russ Courtnall and Shayne Corson took much of heat for their perceived lack of effort. Veterans Guy Carbonneau, Brian Skrudland and Mike McPhee were labeled over the hill. And not even Patrick Roy was spared criticism in light of his ineffective netminding. But the most vicious criticism was saved for coach Pat Burns. He was lambasted for leaving Stephan Lebeau out of the lineup in Games 2 and 3 for the plodding Chris Nilan. Lebeau scored 27…
