Mike Eruzione

No, Terry was from Canada.

Got it.

He was the captain of our team in 1976.

Jack was a freshman at Boston University at that time.

Got it, on that team.

Right, there were four guys.

When the smoke cleared at the end, there were four guys from Boston University, nine from the University of Minnesota, two from Wisconsin, two from Bowling Green, one from North Dakota, and two from Minnesota Duluth.

but they were of the 20 guys 12 of the 20 players were from minnesota wow and 13 of the players then if i'm counting correctly nine from minnesota four from bu so 13 of the players were from this big rivalry with nine from minnesota only four for boston university well and wisconsin and minnesota had a huge rivalry because of national championship battles for years so there was a lot of

animosity between the two programs but so we're in the room and and 68 players try it out and uh herb came up to the to the stage and he he said if i call your name please stay and if i don't thanks for coming okay forgive me for interrupting i just want to really let these guys get it because they've seen somebody's clips right right right so do you think in that moment

I know I made the team be I think I made the team see I hope I made the team You know probably be because I I was on the Great Lakes team and I was elected captain of the Great Lakes team and then we the Great Lakes team won the tournament and

Oh, wow.

And I led our team in scoring.

So I thought I'm going to be on this team.

But the concern I had was Minnesota coach, Western players, Eastern coach, Eastern players.

That's how it always was years before.

It was an Eastern coach that he was going to pick most of the guys going to be from the East because he knew them.

So my concern was, is Herb going to take an Eastern guy?

so we're all in the room and i remember the first name he called was ken morrow kenny was a great defenseman from michigan he would approve the islanders later he played he won four stanley cups right after the olympics that's a pretty good run and i'm sitting there thinking i hope this is an alphabetical you know my name's not getting called and then my name was called so there were 26 players in the room and then you were the second name called

No, I was called later on down the road.

I forget who was called.
