The North Stars found a diamond in Ciccarelli. At the draft table most teams shied away from the junior star because he sustained a severly fractured femur in his last year. Minnesota took a chance and it paid off when he emerged as a legitimate scoring star. Dino finished the year with 18 goals his last 27 games since being called up in early February.
