Hugh Jessiman ’06 took care of some unfinished business in February when he made his National Hockey League debut with the Florida Panthers. When the season ended, he started attending to some other work. Jessiman, a.k.a. “The Specimen,” played his first NHL game on February 27 against the New Jersey Devils, then returned to Hanover this spring to resume work toward his history degree, joining his sister margaret ’12 on campus. (The 12th overall pick in the 2003 draft, Jessiman turned pro after his junior year.) “I’m loving it,” Jessiman says. “I know how lucky I am to be able to come back, especially to a place like this.” While in Hanover, Jessiman joined current Dartmouth players for their off-season workouts under strength and conditioning coach Bob Miller and has also spent time with head coach Bob gaudet ’81.“He said that one of the best texts he ever got was the one I sent him the second I got called up, saying ‘Thank you.’ For me, that was one of the best moments of the spring so far, seeing how much that meant to him.”
