ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Cristoval 'Boo' Nieves is accomplished with both drumsticks and hockey sticks in his hands.

Nieves, a center on Michigan's ice hockey team, is one of the top faceoff men in the Big Ten Conference and last month became the 83rd Wolverine to accumulate 100 points in his career.

The senior music major is self-taught on the drums and learned how to play the piano in a class at Michigan. He also plays the guitar, and is on schedule to graduate this spring or summer in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts.
