Carl Hagelin
Haven’t featured a Swede in a gallery since October 3 so thought a quick post was needed. Carl Hagelin is a junior at the University of Michigan and barring injury should play in his 100th game for the team this season. Great that he remained at Michigan despite being assigned the worst roommate (too bad Quick and Milano couldn’t have roomed together). Hagelin was also a member of Sweden’s U20 team at the 2008 WJC.
U18s heading to Michigan
To make up for my error in the previous Michigan/U18s post on brothers Bryan and Matt Rust and cousins (the error: originally listed them as brothers) Austin and Robbie Czarnik, here are the U18s committed to Michigan:
Goalie: Jack Campbell was featured in an earlier blog post.
Forwards: Luke Moffatt and Jacob Fallon who has a brother, but it’s not the former Cats goaltender. Fallon was on suspension from the team during their trip to Boston so I have no images to share.
On D – Kevin Clare and Jon Merrill
Merrill does have a hockey-playing brother, Greg Merrill of the Bay State Breakers (EJHL) who is currently uncommitted:
Siblings (or not) – Michigan/Under 18s
Two current Wolverines who previously played on the Under-18 team have younger brothers relatives on the National Team Development Program’s 2009-2010 Under 18 team. Neither younger brother player has committed to Michigan – Bryan Rust has committed to Notre Dame while Austin Czarnik is afaik currently uncommitted. Note: I was sloppy and screwed up – Austin and Robbie Czarnik are cousins, not brothers (thanks Chris!). Oops!
Lake Erie Monsters
The Lake Erie Monsters, the Colorado Avalanche’s AHL affiliate, have a new coach from Boston University, David Quinn:
and include some BU alum on their current roster including Brandon Yip and Kevin Schaeffer
but it was Boston College’s former captain Brock Bradford that scored their gamewinner versus the Rochester Americans last night.
The Lake Erie Monsters roster also includes Ryan Stoa, Justin Mercier,
Billy Sauer,
and Kevin Montgomery.
Update: Brett Motherwell is now with the Chicago Wolves.
Birthday post just in time
While it is still September 24 in the US and is already September 25 in Sweden, this is squeaking in just in time – Happy Birthday to Paul Carey, Steven Kampfer & Paul Magalhaes and Grattis to Calle Järnkrok
and an early Happy Birthday (September 26) to Rob Rassey
