VARSITY ALUMNI ‘S’ CLUB 2006 REUNION WEEKEND

The 10th annual Varsity Club Weekend welcomed back to campus alumni letter winners, their families and friends. They returned to East Lansing from various parts of the U.S. and Canada. This year, our oldest participants were Fred Gaines (Football 1934-37), Joe Barrie (Football 1934-35), and Charles Halbert (Football 1936-37).

Weekend activities included a bus tour of the campus, Downtown Coaches Luncheon, a tour of the new Spartan Stadium addition, a Friday night Awards Banquet, and a Pre-Game Luncheon and Pep Rally at the Kellogg Center. We were entertained by our own re- nowned alumni group, Three Men and a Tenor, who were introduced by Gordon Guyer, MSU President Emeritus.

During the Varsity Club Luncheon and Pep Rally, the Varsity Club paid special tribute to the Miller Hockey Family. Representing the Millers were Ellwood ‘Butch’ Miller, Lyle Miller, Dean Miller, Kelly Miller, Kevin Miller, , , and cousins Taylor and Curtis Gemmel. Absent from the picture was who was attending the Anaheim Mighty Ducks training camp.

Since 1956, ten Millers have laced up their skates for MSU, accounting for 27 Varsity let- ters. In total, the Miller family has amassed 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, 11 CCHA Tournament titles, two Hobey Baker winners and a National Championship. The eight skat- ers combined for 312 goals and 436 assists, while , Ryan Miller, posted a NCAA record 26 shutouts in three seasons. In the years that a Miller earned a varsity letter, Michi- gan State compiled a 614-292-62 (.667) record.

Of the ten Millers who played Hockey at MSU, five have gone on to play in the NHL. We (L-R) Ryan Miller, Curtis Gemmel, Taylor are very proud of you. Congratulations! Gemmel, Kip Miller, Kevin Miller, Kelly Miller, Dean Miller, Lyle Miller and Butch Miller
