DU Signs Late Recruit Vossberg for Next Season
.
Update: Vossberg was officially added to the Roster in July, 2007
.
Within days of Matt Carle signing with the San Jose Sharks, the Pioneers made a move to fill the hole in the roster for next season. Brandon Vossberg is a 6'2" 195 lbs. forward/defenseman who accepted an offer to play for the University of Denver. One day after he turned 21 years old, the Santa Fe RoadRunners (NAHL) player announced the news.
.
“It was kind of a nice little birthday present," Vossberg told the Albuquerque Journal North with a big smile Friday night after the RoadRunners' game against Wichita Falls.
.
Denver had been watching Vossberg since he was a high school player in St. Paul, Minnesota. They followed his progress in junior hockey and made an offer last week.
.
The Journal North reported that Denver's coaching staff contacted Santa Fe coach Scott Langer last Thursday morning— one day after Vossberg's birthday— with the news that they were interested in offering Vossberg a position with the team. Vossberg said he's been told he has a good chance at cracking Denver's lineup next season, although the Pioneer coaching staff may have him play defense. Vossberg is second among RoadRunners in scoring with 22 goals and 39 assists this season.
.
Vossberg brings leadership skills to the Pioneers as he currently is the Captain of the team. He is third on the team in penalty minutes, has two shorthanded goals and four game winning goals this season.

That image is not Vossberg. It's a Santa Fe Roadrunner (Stark, maybe?), but not Vossberg.
