McCann Elected Captain; Drury Wins MVP Award

MEN'S HOCKEY: THE FINAL NOTEBOOK

Drury and the national squad are currently competing for the World Championship in Munich and Dortmund, Germany.

Other college hockey players on the team include forward Derek Plante from Minnesota-Duluth and Boston University's star forward David Sacco.

Yale Coach Tim Taylor '63 serves as head coach of the team for the fifth straight year. Earlier this year, Taylor was named head coach of the 1994 U.S. Olympic team.

Right now Drury is busy playing hockey in Germany, but he's also busy thinking about where he will play hockey for the next year or two.

Drury will definitely not be returning to the Crimson, and he must now choose between playing for Taylor in the Olympics or joining the Calgary Flames, the NHL team that owns the rights to him.

Another member of the Crimson who may be on the '94 Olympic team is junior Brian Farrell. The fourth leading scorer on the team with 10 goals and 23 assists, Farrell was invited to a preliminary tryout last week held by Taylor and USA Hockey Technical Director Dave Peterson.

Farrell and the group of college hockey standouts at the tryouts trained together for a week before playing both the Russian and Canadian National teams.

The collegians lost both contests 2-1, but Farrell said that everyone involved was pleased with the Americans' performance in the exhibitions.

Farrell also said he felt good about his personal performance and would take the opportunity to play in the Olympics if chosen.

Whether he makes the team or not is "basically up in the wind because it depends on how professional players are taken," according to Farrell.

The 1994 Winter Olympics will be the first in which members of the NHL will be eligible to compete for the U.S.

Awards: Last week, Drury added one more award to his seemingly endless list of accolades. Drury won the John Tudor Memorial Cup as Harvard's most valuable player, adding this to the slew of honors that include All-America, ECAC Player of the Year, Hobey Baker Finalist, and Ivy League Co-Player of the Year.

Also winning awards were senior Matt Mallgrave, junior Chris Baird and freshman Tripp Tracy.

Mallgrave garnered the Ralph "Cooney" Weiland Award for the player whose play is most representative of former Harvard Coach Cooney Weiland, Baird won Harvard's prize for the most improved player and rookie net-minder Tripp Tracy earned the Crimson's rookie of the year honors.

Tracy's average of 2.46 goals-allowed per game was the best in the ECAC, while his overall average of 2.27 is fourth best in Harvard history.
