June 20,1992 - This Day in Laff History

[Leafhatred]

On this day in 1992, the leaf made Brandon Convery their first round draft choice, 8th overall. Convery, a major disappointment played only 50 regular season games as a leaf between 1995 and 1997, registering just 17 points. In 1998, he was traded to Vancouver for Lonny Bohonos. Lonny played a mere 13 regular season games in a leaf uniform. At last check, both Convery and Bohonos were playing in Switzerland, far away from Laffland. :D

That's okay, Philly chose Ryan Sittler just ahead of him.

How did they make out?

I was always wondering. Some early photos of Senator players from the dark ages featured them wearing a crest on their shoulder with Smitty on it. What was the reason for that?
