The USHL article points out that this year we have the largest number of USHL alums of any team in the conference. Quite a change from 6-7 years ago when the BCHL dominated our recruiting.
Stick him right in front of the crease and let the D-men try and clear him. Should be fun to watch ::popcorn::
Either that or let him barrel right through the neutral zone and knock players down on his way (we need a bowling smiley).

Christian's older brother Tom, a defenseman, just committed to Quinnipiac. He's 6'7", 228 lbs.
Their parents must be _tiny_.
Didn't anybody tell him about Cornell's tradition for player brothers?

You joke, but it is a little odd for brothers to enter different schools at the same time. Even if Tom couldn't get in, I'm more than a little surprised Christian didn't go with him.
Maybe they don't like each other. ;) (Either way, it will be interesting to see them match up as the two largest guys on the ice when we play Q.)

This may be snobbery talking* but if Tom couldn't get in to Cornell I think he'd have a hard time convincing his brother to go to Quinnipiac.* Obviously it is snobbery talking
