is zucker a forward or defenseman? we need some size. another small maiani playing in the wcha could be tough, even though he does play for compuware.
J.Z. is the real deal. He makes good things happen for good teams, and DU is lucky to snag him. With a name like Zucker's, it has to be good ;-)
He's a left handed centerman. He's only 16 years old and there's two years before college so he'll fill in and get taller.
Anyone know how tall the Dad & Mom are? :-)
He's got some more time to grow since he's just turned 16 years old.
Welcome, Jason.
Zucker sounds like a great addition to the DU program.
What exactly is Detroit Compuware? Is that just youth hockey?
Website:
http://www.compuwarehockeyaaa.com/
The Detroit Compuware organization has a rich tradition and impressive track record since its inception in the mid 1970's. Founded by Compuware owner/president Peter Karmanos and Thomas Thewes, the organization envelops all age levels of hockey.
Detroit Compuware has placed over 75 players into the OHL or Division I college hockey via scholarship.
Jason Zucker plays for Compuware's AAA Minor Midget program (16 and under). Other teams in Detroit include Honeybaked and Little Caesars. Most of the elite players from these three teams end up at Michigan or Michigan State.
Youth hockey programs in Colorado mimic Compuware Hockey, include the Colorado Thunderbirds, Colorado Outlaws and Littleton Hawks. In Detroit and the midwest they use corporate names and sponsorships.
Zucker will play for the USNDT under 17 next season and most likely the USHL in 2009.
Jason has an older brother who is 6'-2" 200 lbs
not only one. he has 2 older brothers both good players. Jason will make a great addition to the team. he's a solid determined player!
he's so determined! It runs in his family. His dad is short but mom is really tall. Denver is lucky to have him...
I'm a neighbor and i remember watching him grow up and watch him out side shooting pucks at his garage and he would hit the same spot dead on every time. He's fantastic.
I have know Jason for many many years and can tell you that he is a truly gifted person and when it comes to Hockey he is smart highly skilled and truly anyone whom gets him is lucky. He is certainly the " Real Deal " and has been playing hockey his entire life with dedication and passion unmatched in my own personal experience. Derby Schafer
i palyed against zucker for many yrs when he played for the las vegas outlaws. he is a great player with great hands and will be a terrific player in college..
being a fellow LAS VEGAN, i was so proud to see our city in the desert being represented by such a talented player!!!!! thanks JASON and thanks to your family for supporting you. coming from the east coast and growing up with the UTICA DEVILS, i was dissapointed in the lack of hockey support here. then really dissapointed when the THUNDER left. YOU made us all proud ... mandy
