Lawson Commits to The University
of Vermont
Bensenville, IL (December 31, 2006) --
The Chicago Steel are proud to announce that defenseman
Dan Lawson has committed to the University of Vermont
for the 2007-2008 season. A native of Oak Forest, IL,
Lawson is in his second season with the Steel and has
recorded 9 points (5g, 4a) in 24 games.
Lawson becomes the ninth Steel player to commit to a
NCAA Division I school this year.
"Dan has been our top defenseman since my arrival and I
forsee good things at the college level and possibly the
pro level down the road," said Steel General Manager
Jason Koehler. "He has a nice mix of size, skill, and
physical presence when on the ice for us and will be a
great addition to the Catamount hockey program next
fall."
Two seasons ago, Lawson played for the highly regarded
Chicago Chill AAA program and head coach Anders Sorenson
before joining the Steel in 2005-2006 as one of the
Steel's top draft selections in the 2005 USHL May Entry
Draft. Last season, in 53 games with the Steel, Lawson
posted 5 points on one goal and four assists.
The University of Vermont is a member of the Hockey East
Division I college hockey level. They are currently
11-6-1 on the season.
