Nice article in the Boston Globe on February 14 on Doug Rogers and his family including Trinity College hockey player brother Stephen.

Watching the Russia/Latvia men’s game tonight and heard a familiar name. Former Boston University Terrier Jekabs Redlihs’ two brothers Krisjanis and Mikelis are members of Latvia’s 2010 Olympic team. All three brothers play for Dinamo Riga. Other former NCAA players on the team include Tyler Arnason (St. Cloud), Mike Iggulden (Cornell) and Martin Kariya (Maine).

Didn’t realize how early I made it to Fenway (full gallery) so when I spotted Brad Zancanaro, I didn’t bother being obnoxious and take other images of him as I assumed he was part of the group I was there to shoot.  Umm, no.   But here’s a sibling gallery anyway.  (Tony plays for the Trenton Devils now, but was not in the lineup the night I drove down for a game.)
