The day after the Chicago Blackhawks draft incoming Boston College Eagle Kevin Hayes, they acquired the rights to 2010 National Champion Boston College Eagle Jimmy Hayes from Toronto. This will make it so much easier to continue to cheer for him after he leaves BC :-).

Kevin Hayes, future Boston College Eagle and younger brother of 2010 NCAA D1 National Champion Boston College Eagle Jimmy Hayes, was drafted 24th overall by the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks:

Brandon and Dion Knelsen both graduated from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks this year after spending four years as teammates on the Nanooks. They also have a younger brother Kyle who is currently playing in the AJHL. Following graduation they wound up on opposite sides of the puck when Brandon’s Idaho Steelheads played against Dion’s Alaska Aces.

Dion Knelsen was named to the Lowe’s Senior Class Award All-Senior All-America First Team, won the 2010 CCHA Scholar Athlete of the Year and Mike & Mariam Ilitch Humanitarian Award.  He has signed with the Sparta Warriors who are located in Sarpsborg, Norway, for next season.
