What a great secondary trivia question, and the answer surprised me. Kroggie didn't spend much time in the box, ever. Great posts!!
Mowers had two shorties on the SAME penalty kill, cant remember vs whom. Grabbed the puck in the UNH zone on one of them. He could get up to speed deceptively quick and could fly, but also finish (hello Johnny Rogers). Made a sharp turn and rather than flinging the puck, went right towards the boards and the d tried a squeeze hip check and barely nicked him. Mowers got his feet under him and was gone. 99% of skaters either A) Fling it, or B) get pancaked into the boards.
Oh, and his girlfriend then wife was a UNH gymnast who was rather easy on the eyes. Funny how that happens.

(Slightly) fun fact: Mark's mother was a friend of my mother's back in the day. I don't recall how they met, but the two lived just a few miles apart, and used to hang a little.
Truly, all of Greater Utica were fans of his back then. He garnered a river of ink in the local newspapers (remember newspapers?) A local celebrity when Umile's teams were as dangerous as a basket full of cobras.
Yeah, been a while, but that was a great era, no? UHN used to scare the shit out of me, as a Maine fan. I still have nightmares about that '99 team. Might have been the best first line I'd seen since Maine in '93.

Here's another Mark Mowers trivia question- He would often pat the top of his helmet after scoring. The meaning of that gesture?

Remember the days when a tilt at the beautiful Lawler Rink was a de facto home game for the Wildcats? Been a while since that's been the case. I think the Warriors will be "appropriately confident" tomorrow night, and get the W. You just know that Scotty B gets a kick out of taking down his former employer!The mere concept that any Merrimack team could ever even once be overconfident in a game against UNH probably risks breaking the time-space continuum.
Having said that ... this might just be that once-in-a-millennium occasion, so watch for UNH to at least make it close, if not pull a stunning upset over the fat cat Warr- ... lolololololololololololololololololol dammit I knew I wasn't gonna be able to make it all the way through that one, keeping a straight face and all

Doing Merrimack-UNH research for tomorrow's ESPN+ broadcast. Crazy to me, but UNH hasn't won a game at Lawler Arena since before COVID. Oct. 25, 2019. Charlie Kelleher scored an OT winner.

"Crazy," only if you ignore the one constant factor in your research.
