Fighting Sioux Sophomore defenseman Dillon Simpson. In my opinion, it was pretty nice accomplishment by the young man to do so well in the classroom this past season. Not many people can claim to have gotten a 4.0 grade point average but then to be a division I athlete and have that accomplishment is even more impressive in my opinion.
Cult of Hockey --- Dillon Simpson seems to have it all going for him. Son of former Oiler star Craig Simpson, the youngster seems to have inherited his dad’s smarts, good looks, and at least a portion of his hockey talent.
Let’s talk about those smarts for a moment. Young Dillon carried a 4.0 grade point average in the first semester last year, pursuing his business degree with a major in finance. He managed to do this while playing hockey fulltime at the University of North Dakota, where the freshman was reportedly the youngest player in the entire WCHA. Playing against much older men, the 17-year-old defender kept his head above the water line on the ice (30 GP, 2-8-10) , and did much better than that in the classroom.
