...CHRIS KANE (defense)--Chris was named "Defenseman of the Year" to cap his All-Ivy, All-American 1977 season. A tenacious checker, Kane depends on his quickness to smother attackmen as soon as they get the ball. A member of the U.S. National Team, Kane went to high school with Scott Pink in Port Washington, N.Y. He leads the best defense in the country...
