Any chance of signing another defenseman for '08-'09 or Ruel or Shea coming this season? We've only got 6 returning, Bailen makes seven. That could could get ugly if there is a rash of injuries.

...McKeen's: Plus, going the USHL route always leaves all options open, since you can always move to major juniors later in the future. Speaking of the collegiate route, though, you committed to Bowling Green for 2009. When did you first start talking with Bowling Green, tell me about the recruiting process they led you through, and what made you decide to go there?
Samuels-Thomas: Well, they were the first team that recruited me out of the "AJ." They flew down a bunch of times to watch me play, and I was talking to a lot of other schools, and ironically it came back full circle where I took a few visits and I felt at home at Bowling Green, so I chose there. I just feel really comfortable there and just look forward to it.
McKeen's: long those lines, what were those other programs that showed interest in you and that you also considered, if I might ask?
Samuels-Thomas: Hockey East schools, schools closer to home, UMass, Quinnipiac. But, Bowling Green is in Ohio, which isn't that big of a deal. It's ten hours away, but I just want to be at a spot where I felt comfortable, and my family feels the same way. "
