(#5 through #20 are the right guys, but it's possible their numbers are mixed up)
The starters were Bird, Miley, Gilbert, Nicks, Reed
The first off the bench were Staley and Heaton
The other guys very rarely played, except in the last 5 minutes or so of games when the score was totally lopsided (which happened a lot that year... ISU averaged over 90 pts a game).
Record was 33 and 0 (actually it was 33 and 1, but I like to forget the last game of the season). Plus won all of their pre-season, exhibition games, incl. vs. the Soviet National Team featuring a moster guy named Kachinko.
