Another great ISU player gone too soon

I’m reminded of a story I once heard about when Mike and Maynard both had tryouts with the Oilers. As I understand it, Maynard was released fairly quickly, but stuck around, sleeping in whatever player dorms and eating at the training table.

But since he looked so much like Mike, no one questioned his presence. Got away with it for a couple of weeks before someone noticed.

I always thought that was an awesome story.
