It's no secret around these parts that I have a serious man-crush on one Alex Tuch. In fact, I flaunt it whenever the opportunity presents itself. Going into his sophomore year at Boston College, the expectations for Tuch's growth are starting to show. His size and skill make him a formidable power forward who isn't afraid to play along the wall and can be found digging around the crease for loose pucks to deposit behind the enemy goalie.
He's been continuously selected for the U.S. National teams, playing in the WHC US U-17, the WJC US U-18 and U-20 squads.
