Lean times thing of past for resurgent Huskies
The Northeastern Huskies appear ready to vacate the doghouse for the penthouse. For the past two seasons, coach Ben Smith’s team has frequented the lower echelons of Hockey East, finishing seventh in 1991-92 and eighth last season. But Northeastern jumped out to a 2-1-1 mark in league play (5-1-1 overall), including a 5-4 win over mighty Boston University and a win and a tie against the Merrimack Warriors. “You always hope to get out of the gate fast because this conference is so demanding,” Smith said. “We’ve received nice goaltending from Todd Reynolds and Mike Veisor. Our scoring has been spread out and our defense has played well.” The addition of former U.S. Olympic hero Jim Craig as goaltender coach has paid dividends. Craig worked extensively with Reynolds and the junior from Campbellville, Ont., responded…

Super Swede Renberg sets sights on Calder
Not many first-year players can change the course of a game with talent and determination. Mikael Renberg can and has. The Philadelphia Flyers’ rookie left winger has a knack for coming up with clutch plays. Take, for example, the Flyers’ 4-3 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Lightning Nov. 28. It looked like the Flyers were beginning to sag midway through the second period at the ThunderDome. They were playing their third game in four nights and second in two days against the Lightning. Tampa Bay took a 2-1 lead and the momentum seemed to be shifting to the home team, but then Renberg went to work. First, he tipped in a Garry Galley point shot on a power play to tie the score. Next, he took control of the puck in the defensive zone,…
Small fry Fogarty big shot
Colgate junior center Ron Fogarty learned the hard way bigger doesn’t always mean better. After suffering through one of his worst seasons ever, a lighter, quicker Fogarty helped the Red Raiders jump out to a 4-0-0 record, its best start in the Eastern College Athletic Conference since 1989. There was never any doubt about Fogarty’s offensive potential. In his final season with Sarnia of the Western Ontario Jr. B League, he led the league in scoring with 60 goals and 106 points in 48 games. He had 16 goals in his freshman season, the most by a Colgate rookie since Gerard Waslen scored 24 during the 1982-83 campaign. Fogarty finished fourth in the balloting for ECAC rookie of the year and landed a spot on the league’s all-freshman team. But last season was a…
