This week Comrie was named USHL's Offensive Player of the week. Comrie had a big six-point weekend, including a five-point game Friday against Ohio. He had 3 goals and 2 assists in a 7-0 win over Ohio and added an assist the next night in a 5-2 win over Ohio.

Comrie, cousin of former DU All-American Paul Comrie and NHL forward Mike Comrie, is back playing hockey and looking to sign with DU after concussions put his career in doubt three years ago after he committed to the Pioneers.

Comrie, who will be 21 in August, has 17 points (eight goals) in 18 games and has played in only 21 games since the beginning of 2003-04.

Comrie, from San Diego, originally was slated to join DU in 2004, along with current juniors Geoff Paukovich, Andrew Thomas and Peter Mannino.
