ECAC HOCKEY
ECAC Hockey has its Hobey Baker winners, its All-Americans and its national champions, but what may set it apart from any other conference in the nation is its tradition and success in academics. Few, if any, conferences can produce a list of influential and successful alumni like ECAC Hockey. Scott Hanley (Brown) currently serves as the Director of Sports and Competition for ESPN X Games, while John McLennan (Clarkson) spent his career as the CEO of Bell Canada. Some former ECAC Hockey players became inventors, like Ed Werner (Colgate) and John Haney (Colgate), who invented the board game Trivial Pursuit. Other players have excelled in the business world after hockey. Players like Phil Falcone (Harvard), Chairman and CEO of Harbinger Group, Inc., and former Hobey Baker winner Mark Fusco (Harvard), President and CEO of Aspen Technology, Inc. Terry Butryn, RPI alum, is the President of Barrday Advanced Material Solutions. Terry Morris, Princeon alum, Carl Ferenbach is the Founding Partner of Berkshire Partners. Jason Currie (Clarkson) is the Managing Director, Bear Stearns Assest Management.
Some of ECAC Hockey's former studentathletes have found careers in politics, such as Harvard alum David Johnston who currently serves as the Governor General of Canada, as well as Yale alums Mark Dayton and Jack Dalrymple who are Governors of Minnesota and North Dakota respectively. Various former league alum have been contributors in the field of medicine, such as, Don Armstrong (Rensselaer), who is an Orthopedic Surgeon. Other former league players made it big in the entertainment world, and none bigger than David Kelley (Princeton) the writer, creator and producer of shows like Boston Legal, Ally McBeal, LA Law and Chicago Hope and the movie Mystery, Alaska. Rensselaer alum Bob Farrelly is the writer, director, and producer of There's Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, Shallow Hal, Me, Myself and Irene, and Stuck on You. As a means to give fans and alumni an opportunity to remain a part of the ECAC Hockey family, the league offers a variety of opportunities, including a television package, conference Web site, and a new Weekly Radio Show for the upcoming 2012-13 season. As for the future, it is clear that ECAC Hockey shall continue to occupy its spot among ice hockey's elite conferences.
