Shortly after 7 o’clock Saturday evening, two St. Lawrence
University defensemen with strong Green Mountain heritages will
appear on the Gutterson Fieldhouse ice against the University of
Vermont.
Each has been here many times before; in a sense, both grew up at
The Gut, where their fathers skated once for the Catamounts. One
attended his first UVM game when he was four days old, and the two
life-long buddies cheered on Vermont for years.
So, too, have their parents. Not tonight. Not when Shelburne
natives Peter Child and Bobby Torney, Nos. 4 and 55, respectively,
in the Saints’ traditional red-and-white uniforms, work to
contain Catamount forwards who care nothing of the challenged
allegiances facing Ted and Dina Child or Bob and Sally Torney, all
UVM alumni.
