It is a great honor to be chosen as a member of the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame. I would like to congratulate all the inductees for their accomplishments, and continuing the tradition and excellence of Harvard University athletics. Harvard hockey produced so many great memories for me not only on the ice, with the outstanding teams I played on, but also in the locker room where everyone had their second family.
During my three seasons at Harvard, the talent level of the teams I played on was an incredible sight. Harvard went to the NCAA Final Four all three of my years,
and had two Hobey Baker Award winners in Lane McDonald (1989) and Scott Fusco (1986). A list below shows the magnificence of the teams during my Harvard career.
1989 NCAA Champions, 1989 Beanpot Champions and 1989 Ivy League Champions.
1987 NCAA Semi-Finalists, 1987 ECAC Champions, and 1987 Ivy League Champions.
1986 NCAA Finalists, and 1986 Ivy League Champions.
Looking back, though, the real enjoyment came for me when entering Bright Arena. The locker room was a second home to me because of my teammates, coaches, trainers, and rink and equipment personnel.
I will always respect and admire Coach Cleary for his contributions in making me a better athlete and person.
I would like to share this prestigious honor with my family, for they deserve a lot of the credit for making this night possible. My parents, Al & Elaine, through their own sacrifice, gave me an opportunity to become a better athlete and person.
