		LaRue resides in the Spokane, Washington area and is engaged to be married this summer.
		There’s a lot more higher level hockey for them to work and be seen and a lot of the college hockey in the U.S. – which is outstanding – doesn’t use younger officials and inhibits their opportunity and I think that is part of the problem as well.
		I was lucky to be selected the first time in 1988 and it was fantastic, but it was different with the amateurs, and when I was selected in 2002, it was a big thrill and something I was excited about and pleased to be chosen again, and this third time, I wasn’t expecting it.

	1984 NHL Entry Draft -- David Volek
		The suspension was announced during the summer, not long after Volek defected from Czechoslovakia to Canada via West Germany (where he had gone with permission to visit his parents) on July 25, 1988.
		Following the suspension, Winter argued against the IIHF action, claiming that the steroid charges were false allegations by the Czech hockey authorities that were designed to keep Volek from defecting to North America.
		He said Volek had never used steroids, and that the Czechs had only tested him for drugs as insurance against the possibility of his leaving after the season (since he was due to enter the army and the rest of his family had already left three years earlier).
