Video of the goals comes later ( when i found it ).

Crazy how even though he is talented enough he cannot play any pro hockey this year in order to keep his NCAA eligibility.

De-committed from University of Denver and will be attending University of Connecticut instead

(maybe Broz bumped him)

So he can play this year with the new NCAA rules?

first year in the NCAA, stats seems to be okay (9-8-17 in 27GP). I noticed a slow season start, but anybody saw him play? Did he adjusted properly to north american hockey?

Still probably a longshot to receive an ELC from New Jersey, scored his first goal for Denver last night since transferring.

Pioneers beat Northeastern, 5-2.
