A late ’01 who caught a lot of NCAA schools eyes this week and has a D1 future ahead of him.”

One goal was off the face-off where he collected the puck in the slot and pulled the puck into his body to avoid the defender in the shot lane. He capitalized on a 2v1 opportunity, but was hungry for the puck all game.”
