The Hot List: Shattuck bruiser Michigan State will be happy when bruising defender John Draeger lands on campus. (Photo courtesy Shattuck St-Mary’s) Ryan Kennedy 2012-04-03 13:04:00 Did a little road trip to Amherst, NY, on Friday to catch Shattuck-St. Mary’s for the first time. The Sabres’ under-18 squad was playing in the U.S. national championship and ended up winning it all thanks to a 2-1 victory over the L.A. Jr. Kings. Elsewhere, the Frozen Four is about to pop off and Sarnia found out the hard way that a dynasty can’t be built overnight as the Sting bowed out of the Ontario League playoffs to Saginaw. With all that and more in mind, here’s a look at some of the players we’re excited to see in the NHL one day. John Draeger, D – Shattuck-St. Mary’s Sabres (Minn. HS) The top defenseman on Shattuck, Draeger is a physical blueliner known for his reach and quick feet. He can punish with his 6-foot-2, 186-pound frame, but also showed some nice touch against Milwaukee, scoring on a beautiful penalty shot move. “I like to be that all-around player,” Draeger said. “Help out the team offensively, defensively…be that guy who shows the younger guys the way and help them out.” Though Shattuck draws players from around the world, Draeger is from Faribault, the Minnesota home of the prep school. Needless to say, having neighbors such as Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews was a great influence and the dorm experience provided by the school has lived up to expectations. “It’s great,” Draeger said. “You get to know everybody. You bond with the guys by living together, going to dinner together. You get to be a better team.” The big blueliner is committed Michigan State, where he’ll reunite with Shattuck alum Tanner Sorenson. And while Chicago’s Duncan Keith was a Spartan, Draeger actually looks up to his partner. “Brent Seabrook, for sure,” he said. “He’s a big, lanky guy. He’s physical and can bury the puck and I think I play a lot like him.” No doubt MSU would love for that to come true. Draft eligible in 2012 .

The luck of the Irish was with Brianna Decker ’09 on St. Patrick’s Day when she was awarded the top women’s college hockey award in the nation. Anyone familiar with Brianna and her work ethic would say luck had very little to do with such an honor. The numbers don’t lie. Brianna was the top goal-earner in the nation with 37 for the season and had 82 points. She was an outstanding player while at SSM, having played on the Girls Prep team four years. With another year at the Unviersity of Wisconsin, Brianna would like to see her team win a another national title and she could be just the second player ever to receive the Kazmaier Award twice. Former Sabre, Jocelyn Lamoureaux ’08, who plays for Unviversity of North Dakota, was also a finalist for this honor.
