Where are they now? They’re playing hockey everywhere from North America to Europe to China.
They are former players at the University of Vermont, Norwich University, Middlebury College and Castleton State College and they’re continuing their playing careers at all levels from the National Hockey League through the Southern Pro Hockey League and just about everywhere else.
So here’s where many of the former Catamounts, Cadets, Panthers and Spartans (Sorry, couldn’t find any former Purple Knights this time around) plus one Vermonter (Riley Wetmore, who attended UMass-Lowell) are competing. Undoubtedly, there are a few more as well who escaped scrutiny on two major online sites tracking thousands of players past and present.
