(above) Tom MayRecent DU alum Tom May was one of 14 players released by the Vancouver Canucks yesterday.
May played four seasons at the University of Denver and scored the game winning goal in the WCHA Final Five Championship game last season. He scored 18 goals and 17 assists in 123 career games at DU.
May will probably look to sign a professional contract with a minor league organization this Fall.

when was may even signed by vancouver???
He was never signed. Vancouver offered him a "tryout" several weeks ago to see if he could latch on.

thomas also not going to main camp with the ducks
Good luck to May--hopefully he can catch on with another team.
IMHO, May was the classic underachiever. I thought he showed flashes of excellence while at DU, but he never seemed to put it all together. He was a big strong kid, had good hands, was tough to knock off the puck on more than one occasion, and had one of the quicker shots in the league. I'm just not sure he really put forth the consistent effort needed to be an elite player in the WCHA.
Regardless, good luck to him.
