serious question.
I give you Kevin Westgarth (Princeton) and George Parros (Princeton as well). Ivy league schools do not give athletic scholarships, so you bet that both these guys did well in school and are super smart.

They did not, however, exhibit the highest IQ on the ice. They could have at least been defensive stalwarts if they did, rather than just face-punchers. So yep, intelligence on the ice may not translate off the ice, and vice versa.
