  Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! I have your next  College Spotlight Player and this time it is University of Arizona defenseman Tommy Bennett!


Biscuits and Breezers' College Spotlight Player:
Tommy Bennett

Height: 6 ft 1 in
Weight: 185 lbs
Hometown: Mundlein, IL, USA



  Tommy will be a huge asset to U of Arizona this season because he is an absolutely outstanding player. When he was playing juniors for Southern Oregon as well as the Dells Ducks, he was a huge player. His physical game is incredible and he can rattle the boards with no problem. He can score when it is needed and he supports his team 110%. In fact, during his last year of juniors he racked up 118 PIMs along with 13 TPs. He is the type of player that carries his team on his back and will go to the very end for the logo that he proudly represents. Tommy is definitely the type of player that all college teams should want because he plays a very large game paired with huge passion for the sport. He isn't afraid to drop the gloves and is one of the best fighters that I have seen. Bennett is incredibly smart about the game and constantly knows what has to be done to bring home wins every night. He is a very solid player that goes until the very last second ticks off the clock. He played last year with the University of Arizona but I really believe that this will be his break out year. He knows what it takes to be a great college player and if he can pair that with the immense skills he has gained over the years, he will be almost unstoppable. Tommy is great at moving the puck and is always very skilled at getting the puck to his team mates to light the lamp for those very crucial goals. Being a defenseman, he always stands his ground and won't let any opposing players into his zone. His opponents know that when he is on the ice, they will have close to zero chance of scoring that shift. I believe that if Tommy really goes to the furthest extent he can, he will very closely resemble Colorado College defenseman Gustav Olofsson or even more closely Justin Schmaltz from University of North Dakota. Tommy sees the ice very well and plays a great defensive game but at the same time has an incredible offensive way of thinking. Tommy has such a bright future in the sport that he is only going to go up. He is incredibly talented and is a sure shot for the top of the leader board every night. 

Best of luck at the University of Arizona Tommy and have an amazing season!




Next College Spotlight Player:
Joey Sundgren (St. Olaf)

Spotlight Player Emil Travergard       Biscuits and Breezers         Welcome back to another blog for Biscuits and Breezers! This is another post for the Spotlight Player series, and the player featured today, is a prime example of the defensive qualities that are capable in blue liners. Trending on an upward slope, this particular player brings fire to the ice as well as quite the chill. He may be an independent skater, but he is almost always his team's biggest supporter in the long run.

Jamie Zaleski Biscuits and Breezers    Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! Today you will be able to meet and get to know FHL Danville Dashers center Jamie Zaleski a little bit better. You don't come across a player very often that is so passionate about the sport that he takes immense pride in every game he plays or every time he represents his team, but today I believe I was able to talk to one of those chosen few. Jamie is an amazing player who beams passion and talent every time he walks onto the ice for a game and when you see him play, I guarantee that by the end of the game you will be as stunned as I was when I first watched a Dashers game. Zaleski is the perfect player seeing that he has the ideal combinations of aggressive and physical plays, speed, and can score whenever it needs be. I have seen some pretty aggressive players in my time but Jamie Zaleski is the definition of aggression out on the ice. His hits are almost alway...

#32   Biscuits and Breezers          Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! In this blog we will talk about the Oilers' team regrowth and Wild prospect Mario Lucia breaking his leg. Starting off with the Edmonton Oilers. I have recently talked about Taylor Hall's signing and now we have another. This time it's Jordan Eberle's turn. He was just inked to a 6 year $36 million contract extension on Tuesday. With one year left on his entry level contract, this extension will keep him as the new youthful generation of players until the 2018-2019 season. Hopefully with Nail Yakupov, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, they can produce a team almost as good as in the Gretzky era. Just give them a few years and maybe they will rise up and become a main threat again. We will see! Good luck Jordan with the new contract! I am quite excited to see the upcoming team.     Next thing we will talk about is Ma...
