Since it is Final Five week, I figured I would pass along a story that I found on line. Former DU star Tyler Bozak is making a good impression with the Toronto Maple Leafs. I can only imagine what kind of a team DU would be if Bozak was still in the line up. Bozak is playing with former Minnesota Golden Gopher and Boston Bruin Phil Kessel.
OTTAWA–Leaf rookie Tyler Bozak is making a name for himself these days as a speedy centre with playmaking skills.
But a year ago, the pivot who has found chemistry with Phil Kessel, was making his name in the NHL for his interviewing skills. As a highly touted forward with the University of Denver, Bozak was entertaining NHL offers while winding down his NCAA career in 2008-09.
Making the difficult decision wasn't easy, since he was already balancing school and hockey. He needed a plan after 27 NHL teams came to see him in a span of two months. In the end, it boiled down to two teams – the Leafs and Ottawa Senators.
