Why doesn't Michigan honor jerseys like basketball? I'm sure his would be up there with Wally Grant, Mel Wakabayashi, Red Berenson, Brendan Morrison, Marty Turco etc.

And they only give out jerseys #1-39. Nothing higher.

Eric Lindros was going to play for Michigan because he did not want to play for Sault Ste. Marie, who drafted him 1st overall in the OHL Priority draft.

At that time the CHL did not allow teams to trade their 1st round picks, until Lindros refused to play. The rule was changed that year and he was traded to Oshawa. Just another reason for us to dislike the CHL.
