<-- but ma, it ATE uncle fred ->
A couple of weeks ago Sports Illustrated ran a story on Warren Young
of the Pittsburgh Penguins, a 29 year old rookie in the NHL. There has
been some talk about the Calder trophie (Rookie of the Year) that has
mentioned Young, and Carrie Wilson (28 years old) of Calgary. But as
I recall there was a big flap a few years ago when Peter Stastny won
the Calder. Some owners (Ballard, maybe?) and general managers, and
fans thought that it was unfair for some 24 or 25 year old European
to come to North America and beat out all the teenaged Canadians (and
Americans now, I guess) for the Rookie honors. There was some talk about
putting an upper limit on the age of the Calder winner. I thought that
that had been passed but I assume from the Young and Wilson talk that
it never was. Does anyone *know*?
