Add the Mansoff's to the list of brother tandems who have played for
the University of Maine hockey team.
 
Shawn Mansoff, younger brother of senior defenseman Jason Mansoff,
has been added to the hockey roster according to the Bangor Daily
News.   Shawn, who is three years younger than his brother Jason, has
never played on the same team with his brother at any level.
 
"It'll be nice playing on the same team," said Shawn.  "I'm very
happy to be here.  I've always wanted to go to college."
 
Shawn, a winger for Fort McMurray in the Alberta Junior Hockey
League, scored 25 goals in 37 games while playing for the Oil Barons.
 
The Maine staff is toying with the idea of playing him on defense
according to the BDN.
 
"He's big and fast and he's a very good athlete," said Maine
assistant coach Grant Standbrook.  "It will be fun trying to mold
him."
 
The BDN also reports that the younger Mansoff is a good student and
has already been certified by the NCAA Clearinghouse and the
university.  They also noted that he is on a partial scholarship.
