Kelley’s booming blast making noise for Tigers
Around Princeton University, a sonic boom isn’t just the sound a jet plane makes when it cracks the sound barrier. It’s also a good nickname for Jonathon Kelley’s slapshot. The junior right winger has one of the hardest shots in college hockey. The slapshot has helped him score a career-high 19 goals, but it has also has stuck fear into his own teammates. “I worry about our goalies during practice,” said Princeton coach Don Cahoon. “There are times when his shots literally take them off their feet.

That attitude hasn’t changed. “Desperate times call for desperate measures and this is a desperate situation,” Schoenfeld said March 1 in announcing rookie goalie Jim Carey was being recalled from Portland of the American League. “We’ve given our other three goalies ample opportunity and they each have one win.
