Olander ancestor?

[breezy]

I was looking through some old Husky rosters and saw the name "Stanley Olander" on the 65-66 team. http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/conn/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/MBBAllTimeRosterandStats.pdf

He was/is 6'5", from Vernon and didn't play much. He wasn't listed as on the team for any other year. I wonder if this could have been Tyler's grandfather? A quick google search was inconclusive. Any old timers know if we've had multiple generations of Olander play UConn bball?

Likely his father? Skip was at Rockville high I believe. He was listed as having played baseball and basketball at UConn at some point after attending Worcester.

He was the baseball and PE coach in Tolland when I was in high school. Hard nosed guy as a coach - but a generally nice person otherwise.

Only 1 year? I wondered what happened. Probably a bad rap.

I was thinking that year looked a little old to be Tyler's dad but I guess it was.

Jim Boehein only has a single NCAA championship more than Stanley Olander.

Boehiem has as many championships as the average Olander Husky
