I'll add just a little to the nice comments Jason Roy and Frank
Mallgrave made.
The Jason Botterill file does include the following:
-- 3 WJC gold medals (first Canadian to achieve this)
-- an NCAA championship
-- 1995-96 All-CCHA second team
-- 1993-94 CCHA All-Rookie
-- 1995-96 CCHA All-Academic
-- 1994-95 CCHA All-Academic honorable mention
-- 1994-95 Carl Isaacson Award (UM Academic Athlete)
Botterill will be a senior next season and he's still a teenager.
(He'll turn 20 in May.) He was a first round selection of the Dallas
Stars in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He's a favorite to capture his
second UM Academic Athlete award, which will be announced
on Monday. He has 67-58--125 and 354 PIM in 108 games at
Michigan. He does have a reputation for having a short fuse and
spending time in the penalty box. IMO, a lot of that results from
coming to the defense of smaller teammates...at 6-4/209, most of
his teammates are smaller...and running off at the mouth. Jason's
penalty minutes would be just a little above the average with some
well placed duct tape. :-)
Seriously, he had 143 penalty minutes this season but only 39
penalties. Unofficially, I have that as 29 minors, 3 majors and
7 DQ/misconducts. He was DQ'ed twice for fisticuffs. So, for
simplicity, let's say he had 63 PIM (29 minors, 1 major) for his
normal play, 30 PIM (2 majors, 2 DQs) for fighting and 50 PIM
(5 misconducts) for his extensive vocabulary. :-)
It's an overused description, but he is kind of a soft-spoken,
gentle giant off the ice. I'm hoping and betting that he'll be back
for his senior season.
