Harvard is certainly glad that Steve followed his older brother to Cambridge. Probably the best player on the team, he was drafted high in the second round of the 1998 NHL draft by the Colorado Avalanche and stands the best chance of fulfilling what Mark has described as the dream of every young boy in Canada...

Pegasite intensity spikes at college-application time. The Zagers' dining room has been turned into a college war room, draped from top to bottom with brochures from schools like Syracuse University and the University of Colorado at Boulder and a poster-size chart drawn by Anne that lists 14 schools broken down into 22 categories such as class size and distance from home.
