It's May, 1994 and Felix Potvin is sporting a Montreal Expos' cap. They're off to a great start - I'm sure he's excited. Who wants to tell him about Auguest '94? How about 2004?😪

In 1976-77 Dave Taylor led the NCAA in scoring with 108 points (in 34 games). Clarkson's opponents scored 127 against them all season. Taylor won ECAC player of the year that year (duh). The Hobey Baker Award did not yet exist.

Marcel Pronovost chats with Joe Bowen on what three things were the biggest motivation factors for the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup in 1967.
For context - the first reason Pronovost gives has to do with Expo '67 being held in Montreal that year.

Bobby Orr's 120 points in 1969-70 were more than double what any other defenseman had been able accumulate prior to that year. He also won the Art Ross Trophy that year - still the only Defenseman to ever win the award. (He won it twice.)
