When the Colorado Avalanche faced the Detroit Red Wings yesterday, I was keeping a mental tab on a strange statistic. The game marked rookie Alexander Kerfoot‘s 69th NHL game.
That number isn’t significant because of any silliness associated with how the six and nine orient with each other. Rather, that number is significant because of Kerfoot’s pedigree and Avalanche history.
Alexander Kerfoot, as we well know, played college hockey for an Ivy League school, specifically Harvard. In fact, he graduated from Harvard, which carries an air of prestige around it. It’s hard to get into an Ivy League school, even if you’re really good at sports.
