Kozlov quietly gets job done
The scene is etched in the minds of Detroit Red Wings’ fans. Vyacheslav Kozlov lay motionless on the ice after taking a crushing hit from New Jersey Devils’ captain Scott Stevens in last year’s playoffs. “Whew,” Kozlov said, shaking his head at the memory. “He hit me very hard. When I fell down I didn’t understand where I was.” But the 5-foot-10, 180-pound left winger got up and played the remainder of the game and series. “When you saw Kozie get back up and play after a hit like that, I don’t think anyone can question him,” said center Kris Draper. “That was, and will always be, one of the hardest hits in hockey.” The hit may have fazed Kozlov at the time, but it has not affected his ability or desire to go…

The final decision lies with university president Dr. Patti McGill Peterson, and she, too, has been receptive to the idea, according to Saints’ hockey coach Joe Marsh. “Basically where we’re at, the board of trustees has given its approval to let the president deal with the issue,” Marsh said. “Now, it’s up to her, but so far, she has been very supportive.” According to Marsh, the idea of providing scholarships has been in the works for some time. “We just wanted to make sure we did everything right,” March said. “(Dr. Peterson) formed an athletic committee to review it and…
