From the United States, Brooks Orpik played three years at Boston College, where he helped his institution win the 2001 NCAA Championship.  The year before, he was drafted 18^th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins, with whom he would join after winning that coveted amateur accolade.

From Sweden, Patric Hornqvist played seven years with the Pittsburgh Penguins, his second NHL team after being a Nashville Predator for six years.

Mike Bullard was the ninth overall pick in the 1980 Draft, and he would debut that year for Pittsburgh, appearing in 15 Games.  He was a full-time Center for the Pens the season after and proved to be a solid performer with a 63 Point Season.

The most important goal that Ron Schock would have would be in a St. Louis Blues uniform when he lit the lamp in double overtime in Game 7 of the 1968 Conference Finals.  That put the Blues into the Stanley Cup Finals in the first year of the club's existence.  St. Louis didn't win, and a year later, Schock was not even a Blue.
