"You've got to keep it all in perspective," Janfaza says. "Lane MacDonald had 37 goals last year. Tim Barakett had 25. Al Bourbeau had 19 power-play goals. I have 13."

He smiles. "I'm happy, though..."

Harvard's Associate Coach, Ronn Tomassoni, calls Janfaza "a real team player." He also calls him "The Flying Italian," which is a misnomer, since Janfaza is Jewish.

"My recruiting story..." Janfaza begins. "Ronn thought I was Italian. Ronn is Italian and there were a bunch of Italians on the team when I was being recruited."

Janfaza adds: "Ronn didn't find out until pre-season [a year later] when I asked out of a practice. He said, 'Why?' I told him, and he asked me why I hadn't told him earlier."

Janfaza wanted to observe a Jewish holiday.

Next year, Janfaza plans to try his hand (and skates) at playing hockey in Europe. He and his roommates. Harvard Captain Steve Armstrong might make a go of the European scene together.

Tonight, though, Janfaza will turn his attention where all the Crimson players' attention will be focused: on RPI. Harvard owes the Engineers one.

And Scott Fusco owes Lane MacDonald $10. Janfaza won't get anything out of the transaction. Except, maybe, a little satisfaction.
