At Dartmouth: Entering his fifth year on the Dartmouth team, Ruzzo will be looking to regain the jump he had during his freshman campaign. Last year, Ruzzo appeared in three games for the Big Green. In his junior year, Ruzzo returned to the ice after missing the majority of the 1994-95 season due to injury. In his 11 appearances last year coming during the playoff run, he boosted the Dartmouth offense by notching five points on four goals and an assist. As a freshman in 1993-94, Tom tied for sixth in team scoring with seven goals and nine assists for 16 points. Twice in his rookie season he recorded a two-goal performance -- against Vermont and Yale -- leading the Big Green to victories.

High School: Tom played his high school hockey at Noble & Greenough.

Personal: Tom's favorite television show is ER, and his favorite actor is Harrison Ford. Tom enjoys sitting down to a lobster meal and fondly recalls the hey day of the great Boston Celtic teams of the 1980s. His most memorable sports moment was skating in a college hockey game this past season for the first time after being sidelined by a knee injury for over a year.
