Recruiting Trail: INCH's 2003 All-Name Team

2003 INCH Recruiting Rankings
Sept. 3: Top Forwards
Sept. 4: Top Defensemen & Goalies
Sept. 5: Top Classes

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 Bryce Cockburn, Scooter Smith and Mike Funk?

Make no mistake, a high standard has been set. But we think the members of INCH's 2003 Recruiting All-Name Team might just have the stuff to carry on that legacy. You'll find their names, with comments, below.

2003 RECRUITING ALL-NAME TEAM

Name

La, la, la, la life goes on.

Brett Arcand-Kootenay

Alaska Anchorage, F

Turned down a major junior offer from the Kelowna Rockets because he refused to change his name to “Arcand-Kelowna.”

Barnabas Birkeland

Lake Superior State, D

Shouldn't this guy be chasing a white whale around the North Atlantic?

Scott Champagne

Mercyhurst, F

Teammates won't visit Scott's dorm with their girlfriends in tow because, as we all know, there's no sex in the Champagne Room.

Justin Chwedoruk and
Alex Nikiforuk

Didja ever wonder what it would be like if Harry Caray called hockey games?

No, I don't have a twin brother, and we don't go to Maine.

You haven't lived until you've visited the Little Italy section of Big Rapids. So what if it consists of two houses and a Pizza Hut?

No, he’s not Karl’s brother. It’s not spelled “Goehring,” and he’s taller than 5-foot-6.

He had no trouble getting into Princeton. He got 500 points for spelling his name right on the SATs instead of the usual 200.

On his recruiting trip, what are the chances Enrico Blasi took him to an Italian place?

Pierre-Luc O'Brien

We prefer a Chardonnay, but a good Pineault-Grigio is nice, too.

Isn’t this guy one of the star’s of the FOX series “OC”?

When they signed Dinos, the Friars got Pebbles and Bam Bam as well.
