LeBlanc Commits to St. Cloud
Bensenville, IL (April 2nd, 2007)
-- The Chicago Steel have announced that forward Drew
LeBlanc has committed to the St. Cloud State Huskies
(WCHA) for the 2008 season.
A native of Hermantown, MN, LeBlanc recently joined the
Steel after completing his junior high school season
with Hermantown High School and winning the Class A
State Championship in March. LeBlanc is also rated by
NHL Central Scouting for the June Entry Draft.
LeBlanc becomes the thirteenth Steel player to commit to
a NCAA Division I school this year.
"Drew has shown in his short time with our program that
he'll make an excellent college centerman with his
hands, playmaking ability, and hockey sense," said Steel
General Manager Jason Koehler. "He's quickly making the
adjustment to the junior level now and is a key part of
this program next season and will be one of the top
forwards in the league next season. St. Cloud head coach
Bob Motzko and his staff have to be excited they were
able to lock up another one of the premier players in
the state of Minnesota for their program. All three
staff members with the Huskies have had success in the
USHL and know what type of players they need to win
evidenced by the season they had this year in St. Cloud.
Drew will help continue to make the program there
stronger."
St. Cloud is a member of the WCHA. They finished 22-11-7
on the season.
