Roundup: Bordeleau the Freshman Hero For Michigan This Time

CHN Staff Report

Michigan's highly-touted freshman class includes one player, Brendan Brisson, who was a first-round NHL Draft already this year; and three others — Matty Beniers, Owen Power and Kent Johnson — who will be sure-fire high-end picks next year.

And oh, then there's Thomas Bordeleau. Another product of the U.S. National Program, he was born in the U.S., the son of former NHL'er Patrick Bordeleau, and has dual U.S./Canada citizenship. He was a mere second-round pick. But all he's done is show tremendous flashes so far.
