ESPN had this article on Cole and Mitchell. I knew they were roomates and teamates, but I did not know they were so close.
A couple members of the 'Canes are watching this year's Western Conference Finals with vested interest, according to the Raleigh News & Observer May 14. Left winger Erik Cole, freshman roommates with Wild defenseman Willie Mitchell at Clarkson in 1997-98, continues to leave messages for his buddy during these playoffs. Mitchell, the godfather of Cole's daughter, has battled back from a broken cheekbone and wrist injury. Last year, Mitchell used to call Cole during the 'Canes run to the Cup Finals. Now, Cole returns the favor.
