The road to Wrigley
The Chicago Cubs selected Michi-

round of the Major League Baseball
Amateur Draft last Tuesday. Here's

"But he has to decide"
The All-CCHA first-teamer would
lead the defense next season if he
decided to return because 17-year-
old freshman Al Montoya is expect-
ed to start in goal. Like Cammalleri,
Montoya fast-tracked through high
school in three years to come play
for Michigan. Having Komisarek in
the lineup would help the Wolver-
ines keep the puck away from Mon-
toya's side of the ice as he
acclimates to the college game.
But the Komisareks are ready to
support Mike in whatever decision
he makes.
"We are going to support him any-
way," she .said. "If he's going to
make the decision to stay in school,
we're going to support him. if he's
going to make the decision to go to
Montreal, we're going to support
that to."
Neither the Kings nor Canadiens
would comment on the situation
because they did not want to affect
the players' college eligibility.
