"His presence on the ice rubs off on everyone," said teammate Todd Copeland. "He's been here for four years and knows how to handle all the situations." Moes' roommate and fellow center Rob Brown agrees with Cope- land. "Everyone on the team looks up to him as a leader which is why he was chosen as captain. He's a good role model for us off the ice as well." The senior economics major is referred to as a "solid student ath- lete," by Michigan coach Red Beren- son. Moes is an overachiever, which Berenson states is "exactly what Michigan is looking for." This balance between books and pucks began early in his life. "My mom was a teacher and she always said school came first, before hock- ey," Moes said. "And I understood this; hockey doesn't last forever and Moes ig school is very important." After finishing eight seasons on a local team in his hometown of Burl- ington, Ontario, 40 minutes south of Toronto, Moes had expected to be taken in the Major Junior A Draft, but was never selected. But this did not affect his love for the game. "I really was disappointed," Moes said. "I was bitter because some kids who were barely making the team were getting drafted, but because I wanted to go to college, it didn't get me down and out." A player loses college eligibility when he plays Junior A hockey, so Moes joined a local Junior B team. "Towards my second year, I was getting a few nibbles and I knew (a scholarship) was an obtainable goal." Since most local kids in the Toronto area are heavily recruited by the eastern United States schools, Michigan represented something dif- ferent. "It was kind of unique for a kid to come here. Most go east," Berenson said. "But he had an oppor- tunity to see something different and he's always looking for something of a challenge." Even though college was a new challenge for Moes, the transition went smoothly according to Beren- son. "He was one of those players who came in mature and has been able to do a lot from day one." "It was a little tough at first, but with the large recruiting class that year, I think it was easier," Moes said, referring to the transition on Three years later, Moes has stepped to the top as a leader. "Mike's a valuable resource to this team," said roommate and goalie Warren Sharples. "He's well respect- ed by everyone. You can approach him with your problems and talk to him." Selected in this summer's supplemental draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Moes may continue to pursue his love of hockey. But he isn't expecting anything for sure. "It was a great thrill (being selected by Toronto)," Moes said. "It"s always been a goal of mine-to play in Maple Leaf Garden. I'll give it a shot, but if it doesn't work out I'll know I gave it my best." If the NHL is not what the future holds in store for Moes, he'll always be remembered for his role on the Wolverine hockey team as one who led by example. The consensus on Moes is there is nothing secretive about him. As Copeland states, "What you see is what you get." And in this case, you get a "hard working, dedicated team player," ac= cording to Berenson, whose leader- ship will continue to show as his final season comes to an end. eads Blue icers by Michael Bess Daily Sports Contributor The University of Michigan men's swim team ran their record to 4-0 last night after soundly defeating Oakland University. The Wolverines received strong performances from several swimmers and breezed to a 99-34 victory. Although the Pioneer squad fea- tures some of the better Division Two swimmers in the country, they were unable to match superior Wol- verine ability and depth. In fact, their -team could muster only one first place finisher, Hilton Woods. Woods captured best times in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events. Michigan head coach Jon Ur- banchek was pleased with his team's effort. "We had some pretty good ,swims," Urbanchek said. "We used this meet as more of a full workout, getting all the guys in. I really want- ed to see how we would swim tired." Michigan dominated in nearly every event. World record holder Mike Barrowman made a splashy season debut, garnering victories in both the 100 and 200 yard breast- stroke events. Senior co-captain Brent Lang won the 100 yard butter- fly as well as the 500 yard freestyle event. In addition, junior Scott Ryan recorded a season-best time in the 1000 yard freestyle. The most encouraging perform- ances of the night, however, came from first year swimmers Steve Bigelow and Brian Gunn. Bigelow captured top honors in the 100 and 200 yard backstroke.fGunn was outstanding, placing first in three events, including a season-best time in the 200 yard butterfly. Much of this year's success hinges on the performance of the younger swim- mers, which makes Gunn's and Bigelow's showings all the more important. Urbanchek seemed impressed with Gunn. "He (Gunn) is certainly a top athlete," he said. "I was looking at how he would perform tired. He did well." The Michigan men's team is gearing up for the Longhorn Invita- tional on December 1st. Moes the ice. Off the ice, it was "a lot to handle, both school and practice, but it wasn't that bad," Moes said.
