Worthing, 01-02 'Jackets Enshrined In Hall   On Thursday, July 16, the University of Wisconsin-Superior held its annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and a worthy player and team took their place among the all-time greats at the school. Dr. Ralph Worthing, a native of Duluth who starred with the teams of the early 1970's, took his long-overdue place among the greatest athletes that ever performed at UW-Superior.  Along with Worthing, the 2001-02 Yellowjackets, the team which brought the school its second-ever National Championship, was also enshrined. Worthing played for the Yellowjackets from 1972 through 1976, capping his career with the NAIA National Championship in 1976, scoring a pivotal third period goal against St. Scholastica in the title game.  Worthing played 107 games in his four seasons, scoring 88 goals and 142 points in that time.  He still stands third on the school's all-time goal scoring chart and is tied for ninth all-time in points. "Ralph Worthing was an extremely gifted and talented hockey player.  And I know it's cliche, but as good of a player he was, he was an even better student and person in his time at UW-Superior," said current Yellowjacket Athletic Director Steve Nelson.  "He represents everything that is great about this university." Worthing earned both his Bachelor's and Masters degrees from UW-Superior.  Today, he is a professor in the psychology department at Delta College in Saginaw, Mich. In 2000-01, the Yellowjackets saw what was arguably the best team in school history advance to the Frozen Four and ultimately finish third.  The core of the team returned, and coupled with a strong freshman class, took the team to the top of the Division III hockey mountain, winning the NCAA title the following season.  For that effort, the 2001-02 Yellowjackets became the fourth hockey team in school history to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. "I'm obviously a little biased, but this team definitely deserves to be here," said Yellowjacket Head Coach Dan Stauber, who was the coach of that 2001-02 team.  "They came in that season with an attitude of having some unfinished business, and they took care of it." Trailing by a goal with under two minutes to play, Colin Kendall scored in the waning seconds of regulation to tie the game and force overtime.  Before people could even take their seats for the extra session, Kendall scooped up a rebound near the Norwich goal, buried up high in the open net, and gave the 'Jackets a 3-2 win over the Cadets. "It's one of the greatest moments I've ever been a part of," Stauber said.  "It still gives me goosebumps." Team captain Bruce Leonard made the induction speech on behalf of his team.  He was joined on the stage by other team members and the coaching staff.
