No he wasn't.  His will was tremendous and his heart huge but even Justin Johnson surpassed him in size of heart. Several alumni had more talent than Curtis. Dean Larson and Kevin Clark had loads more skill than Glencross. Their size kept them out of the NHL but most know Lars' record as a pro and it's nothing to turn your nose at. As for Clarkie, he's lead three Euro leagues in scoring over the last six years outplaying many other former WCHA alums and former NHL'rs also playing in those leagues. Last season he was the leading goal scorer in the Swedish Hockey League which could be argued is the 2nd or 3rd best league in professional hockey. I can imagine even Glencross himself would tell you his linemate Chris Fournier was "better". You wouldn't know any of this because Doyle doesn't do Seawolves updates like he always did for Aces players ... for example ... look up Mat Robinson's post UAA career in the KHL; dude is killing it in Russia.
