I found two NCAA hockey programs with awards named for former players named Mark Weiss

Mark Weiss of Michigan, who was a Navy seal, then a Utah hockey player, then served the country again before dying in an off-duty accident in 2017, age 35. The Utah Iron Man award is named for him.
Mark Weiss Cornell Hockey
Mark Weiss Utah hockey, former Navy Seal
It is with a broken heart that we must inform you Lt. Mark Weiss, of Livonia, Michigan, passed away this last weekend. Mark played for the team during the 2010-11 season and made a tremendous impact on our team and our program as a whole. In 2013 he was awarded the first Iron Man Award and the award remains in his name.
For those who didn’t know Mark, he joined the US Navy in 2000 and became an enlisted member of the United States Navy SEALs. After several tours and countless missions he returned to the University of Utah to finish his degree in Exercise Science.
During his time with the team his positive nature and outstanding work ethic forged a sense of purpose that still exists with Utah Hockey. Upon graduating from the University he was commissioned as an Ensign and served continually overseas while earning his MBA from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterrey, CA.
Mark was currently on deployment in Africa with the Coronado-based Special Boat Team 12, Navy Special Warfare Group 4. His decorations included the Bronze Star Medal with a Combat “V” and the Navy Marine Corps Commendation Medal with a Combat “V” for battlefield valor.
Mark will be painfully missed.
For those who can attend the game this Saturday, November 18th, (2017) Utah Hockey will honor Mark with a moment of silence.

Weiss was a Utah hockey stalward and went on to get an MBA from Monterrey
Mark Weiss , star winger on the Cornell hockey team , died in an automobile accident in his home town of Haileybury , Ontario , late last May . Weiss , who would have been a junior this year , was 19 . Ma Markk r was probably the – best – liked kid on the team . He slikedt be loved life and lived it to the fullest , varsity coach Dick Bertrand said of Weiss .

He went 2 0 – 2233 – – – – , 4,433 while skating wing with 203 the Lance – – hNethery Net e rR oyy Kerling line last Roy winter . Weiss jersey bearing the number 8 so familiar to all the Lynah Faithful , will be formal ¬ ly retired by Athletic Director Dick Schultz at a home game this winter .
The Mark Weiss Memorial Award
Presented to the player who most exemplified from his rookie year through his senior year the same kind of determination and passion that the outstanding young athlete, Mark Weiss, had for life and hockey.
and 1: there’s also Doug Weiss Dartmouth ’88 hockey stalwart and surgeon who works for the US Hockey team, and Tyler Weiss, of Raleigh NC hoping to stick with Colorado of the NHL.

Whizzer White admits he was also ‘Boofer’; Says Kavanaugh getting ‘Virtual Melvin’; Ubangis want equal time

What is he reaching for here?
What does he mean by “2…4?”
Truth is stranger than fiction, peeps.
and 1: the Melvins (note: I have no idea if the Melvins’ “Honey
bucket” has explicity lyrics. I just knoe the Melvins are cool. Where I came from, a “melvin” was a result of an attack of a bully -for example, a baskeball playing, future Ivy League junior varisty athlete, who wants to be a Justice — on a uncool person, like a musician or a editor of student pub, which means newspaper not beer joint. “Student pub” at least in high school –although I dont know about Georgetown Perp — would be an oxymoron or inconsistent — and an attack on wardrobe. Get it?) Also, I saw the Melvins once at Cat’s Cradle in Chapel Hill, and may have drank a beer. Also, the Melvins have solo albums with cover art by HB Stafford, who did some work for Earthwise, late. I am not saying that nominated Justice Kavanaugh attacked the weak in high school and disrupted the angle of repose of their tidy whities, or that he date raped anyone or engaged in anal sex, consensual or not, just that its a bad sign that we are debating our high school lingo (heh, heh, he said ‘lingo’) on national tv. FFFFF. Covefe. Georgetown guys if yo read this you suck Hoya dicks. What rocks off! Or, What? Rocks off? Elizabeth Shue the future movie star came to those same parties and everyone gawked that someone’s sister was such a hottie. I’d like to know how much he sweated, as an Ivy League JV basketball player. I never saw a Dartmouth jv basketball game,but I have a problem with white ugys who sweat too much especially if they went to exclusive Catholic prep schools. Not that I am anti-Catholic either. Dartmough had a plyaer in my class named Joe kilroy and years later when I was dating a neurotic trauma surgeon in Philly, I went to a St. Joe’s I think basketball game and approached the coach to say I was a classmate but not friendly with their alumnus Joe Kilroy. Besides my Gonzaga firends, the I Street Boys, I’d like to know what Joe Kilroy’s memory if any of Brett Kavanaugh. Reminds me that my teammate Kent Lockhart who played for UTEP and then Australia was teammate down under with Obama’s secretary of education, a former Harvard player. And he remembered that Dude was “left handed….pigenon-toed…and heady” — so people remember things. FBI, if you are reading this, or you Russian hackers, interview Joe Kilroy of Dartmouth: Did Kavanaugh try to foul too much as an Ivy JV hoops guy. Me? I was barely on the team at Gunn (but league champs, BITCHES!) and didn’t last long in the Dartmouth intramual League. I remember I could not cover Steve Briggs who played football butnot varsity basketball for the Big green and I could not — I played for Richardson dorm and he played I htink for Ripley — and he took me baseline and I could not turn him back for help. Game over. Gay mover, not!
But Boofer in our realm did not mean boy girl anal — we didn’t know that exisgted — but gay sex, which we despised.
and and: I am cooking and drinking red whine while wifey TMW is still at work at hosptial and I cann’t believe I am watching CNN
(hours later, after battery ran out and I took nap:
If Kavanaugh does not, in the end, make it to Supreme Court, he could at least be named Ambassador to Ubangi).(that’s another drinking game, you uninitiateds, with emphasis on ‘teds. Chug!

The Boob Tube: 1) what is ‘Maniac’? 2) what is ‘Netflicks’? & 3) whose ‘Dick’ did Georgetown prep?
I’ve never even seen Gsme of Thornes but tore a clip from the times about the real life town in Croatia being over run by tourists ( see also Mark Twain, Yankee in King Artur Ct). — also Hawking disproof of time travel “we’d be overrun by tourists from the future”. Truth stranger than fiction.



Edita: Georgetown Perp
And:

Andand:
in other words or as my Dartmouth classmate (brilliant Pakistani writer and landed class farmer I never met Daniyal Muuedineen says in other boob rooms other hung worlds:
edit to add a couple days later and after Kavs was approved 50-48: There is not likely a tv show called “Dick” I think I was thinking –but not too hard — of “Hung”
and1: the Times had something about divisiveness at Facebook because one of their honchos appeared at the hearings, sitting behind Kavs, and inspired by that I sussed out that former Dartmouth and SI football hero Colin Stretch has given notice (while his fighter jock bro in the nicest sense of the word Tim Stretch is now a Lt Commander or something of the European Theatre, while BJ my actual classmate is in the private sector for the first time in 30 years likely due to the winds of change that dredged up Kavs. Brian Stretch at Dartmouth was a member of a hard-drinking fraternity (comprisng his offensive line) but you could poll 1,000 of our Dartmouth classmates and get unanimity that he otherwise did nothing to disqualify him from even higher profile public service.
