When you throw in his charisma, his size and his family values, you know this kid will do whatever it takes to make it.

Four months ago the kid was just thrilled that Brown University was interested in having him play there. The kid has moved very quickly. What he has to handle now is not to throw expectations on himself and relax and play hockey.

We are very disappointed. He was having a great year and he's going to miss out on the Olympics and the playoffs. . . . The best hockey is coming up right now. That's where the disappointment lies. But it's the right decision to take care of this now.

We look for athletes and this kid is a raw athlete. He just started lifting weights four months ago.
