News & Notes From Around Pioneer Nation

Goaltending recruit Sam Brittian who is slated to come to DU in 2011, was a unanimous selection for the Alberta Junior Hockey League All-Star Team. The vote was taken by the league's head coaches and general managers. The AJHL All-Star Weekend will be held in Fort McMurray, Alberta on January 29th – 30th, 2010.

A very interesting quote from USA National Junior Coach Dean Blais about DU recruit Jason Zucker, who even Blais didn't think were going to make the team. "We didn't want to take him, but he made it. He played with good energy, good size, good instincts. He made the team on his ability. He deserved it."
