ECAC Hockey alums Kent Huskins (Clarkson), Todd Marchant (Clarkson), Andy McDonald (Colgate) and George Parros (Princeton) will have their names engraved on the Stanley Cup, as the standouts helped the Anaheim Ducks win the National Hockey league's coveted championship trophy.

Anaheim defeated Ottawa 6-2 in Game 5 on June 6 in California to win the championship series 4-1.

A rookie defenseman, Huskins played in all 20 games of the NHL playoffs, recording one assist and a +4 plus/minus rating. Huskins was a standout on the blueline for Clarkson, playing in 135 games from 1997-2001. He recorded 78 points on 15 goals and 63 assists and was a Hobey Baker Award finalist in his senior campaign.

Playing in his 14th NHL season, Marchant, a 5-10, 176-pound center, appeared in 10 playoff games this season, including all five Stanley Cup finals games, and posted three postseason assists. He missed the final three games of the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs recovering from an injury. He made his first appearance in the postseason on May 11 after having hernia surgery on April 6. Marchant played just two seasons of collegiate hockey for the Knights (1991-93) before skating with Team USA in the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. He helped the Golden Knights compile 42 wins and advance to two NCAA Tournaments and win one ECAC Tournament championship title in Lake Placid.

McDonald became the first former Colgate Raider to win the Stanley Cup. McDonald's two goals and an assist in Anaheim's Game 4 win in Ottawa gave the Ducks the chance to hoist the Cup on home ice. With 10 playoff goals, McDonald finished the playoffs as the NHL's second-leading goal scorer, and he was fourth on the Ducks with 14 playoff points; he had five goals and seven points during the finals. McDonald was a first-team All-ECAC performer and led the league in goals and assists his senior season and was a Hobey Baker Award finalist.

Parros is the first Princetonian to be a member of a Stanley Cup winning team. He appeared in 34 games for Anaheim during the regular season after being acquired from Colorado in a trade. Parros scored one goal and amassed 102 penalties in those games. In the playoffs he appeared in five games for the Ducks. Parros played in 111 games at Princeton, scoring 20 goals and adding 25 assists for 45 points.
