Mainers caught in draft

Two incoming University of Maine freshman hockey players were selected in Saturday’s NHL Draft: Goalie Ben Bishop was picked 85th overall by St. Louis and defenseman Matt Duffy was taken 104th by Florida.

Bishop, a 6-foot-5, 205-pound native of Des Peres, Mo., and Duffy, a 6-2, 185-pound Windham native, will have their rights retained by their teams even as they play for Maine.

Other current draftees on Maine’s team include Jimmy Howard (Detroit), Greg Moore and Billy Ryan (N.Y. Rangers), Mike Lundin (Tampa Bay), Rob Bellamy (Philadelphia), and Mike Hamilton (Atlanta).
