Recruiting Trail: INCH's 2004 All-Name Team

• Top 20 Forwards
• Top 15 Defensemen & Top 10 Goalies
• Top 15 Classes
• Top Players by Origin

We've told you who in this year's freshman class will make an impact on the ice. But who, just by their name appearing in a box score, will bring a smile to our faces? Who is prepared to carry the torch previously held by the likes of Spanky Leonard, Reid Goolsby and Jake "Couldn't Cut it in the Mexican League" Taylor?

Make no mistake, a high standard has been set. But we think the members of INCH's 2004 Recruiting All-Name Team might just have the stuff to carry on that legacy. You'll find their names, with comments, below.

2004 RECRUITING ALL-NAME TEAM
Name	School, Pos.
Nick Bet	Robert Morris, F
And you thought they were tough on Jeremy Bloom. Before Nick even arrived on campus, the NCAA was investigating illegal gambling activities.
Aaron Brocklehurst	St. Cloud State, D
So that explains all the voluntary groundwater cleanup by corporations based in central Minnesota...
Kris Chucko	Minnesota, F
Answer to the question, "What happens when Kris rides the tilt-a-whirl 13 times in a row?"
Wes Clark	Maine, F
If you think this is the first time a failed presidential bid has led a candidate to a hockey career at Maine, you’ve obviously forgotten Eric Weinrich’s brief challenge of President Reagan in 1984.
Torren Del Forte	Union, F
Did you know that Tierra del Fuego is the southern-most city in the world? No idea what made us think of that …
Nick Dodge	Clarkson, F
This thing’s got a hemi.
Boomer Ewing	Boston University, F
What you get when you cross a blonde, left-handed quarterback with the sweatiest player in NBA history.
Brandon Gawryletz or Travis Gawryletz	Alaska Fairbanks, D, or Minnesota Duluth, D
Weren't one of these the guy the limo driver was supposed to pick up in that old Bud Light commercial?
Sasha Grenier-Pokuluk	Cornell, D
The unfortunate result of a sociology experiment: will anybody notice that you named your son “Sasha” if your last name is “Grenier-Pokuluk”?
Chad Kolarik	Michigan, F
'Do you like Pina Kolarik...and getting caught in the rain?'
David Leggio	Clarkson, G
Coach Roll thought he'd make a good building block after the Golden Knights missed out on Jim Lincoln Log.
Jonathan Matsumoto	Bowling Green, F
Better known by his TV name, Iron Chef.
Jeff Oke	Lake Superior State, F
The Lakers are a perfect fit for Jeff. Where else are they going to celebrate the arrival of an o.k. player?
Stavros Paskaris	Wayne State, F
He's the focal point of the Warriors' new special teams unit, My Big Fat Greek Power Play.
Dan Peace	Rensselaer, F
The activists on the Engineer campus are already calling for Coach Fridgen to give this kid a chance.
Peder Skinner	Michigan State, F
Either a Spartan forward, or an affliction that requires a trip to the emergency room.
Eric Toonders	American International, D
Loved his work as the driving cat on 'SNL'.
