EAST LANSING — Darren Eliot was an All-American when he played for Cornell University in route to reaching the NHL, and his son, Mitch Eliot, will look to experience that same type of success at MSU starting next fall.
Eliot will be one of six talented incoming freshmen looking to revitalize MSU Hockey next season. As a two-way defenseman, Eliot played for the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the United States Hockey League (USHL) during the past two seasons, recording four points (0-4-4) in 58 games in 2014-15 and 13 points (5-8-13) in 55 games in 2015-16.
During his time with the Lumberjacks, Eliot — who is listed at 6-foot-0, 190-pounds — created a reputation as a physical two-way player.
