McGann Commits to Quinnipiac
Bensenville, IL (May 3rd, 2007)
-- The Chicago Steel have announced that goaltender Pat
McGann has committed to the Quinnipiac Bobcats (ECACHL)
for the 2007 season.
The 2005 Dallas Stars NHL draft choice and Evergreen
Park, IL native was in his first season with the Steel
after playing the previous season with the Cedar Rapids
Rough Riders. McGann previously played for the Team
Illinois Midget Major program.
McGann was acquired in a trade by the Steel in November
2006 along with Andy Miele and a draft choice in
exchange for goaltender Richard Bachman.
Pat McGann becomes the fifteenth Steel player to commit
to a NCAA Division I school this year.
"Pat McGann has two full years of experience as a solid
goaltender in the USHL and should help Quinnipiac’s rise
in college hockey," said Steel General Manager Jason
Koehler. "McGann joined our program this past fall and
provided us a veteran goaltender that has had success
and is extremely competitive. We would expect the same
as Pat joins the Bobcats this fall. We wish Pat all the
best in his hockey future. Quinnipiac and head coach
Rand Pecknold are definitely taking steps in the right
direction with their program and we hope that Pat can
contribute immediately for them.”
Quinnipiac is a member of the ECACHL. They finished
21-14-5 on the season.
