Key Statistics: Sullivan
finished fourth among Golden Knights in scoring last
year with 15 goals and 26 points. He was a 2003 draft
pick of the Los Angeles Kings.
What He Does: He is a
versatile forward who plays both special teams units
for the Golden Knights and can score goals as well as
set them up, as evidenced by his 31 career goals and
31 career assists. He was paired with Nick Dodge as
Clarkson’s top pair of penalty-killing forwards
last year.
The Bigger Picture: Sullivan
was the jewel of George Roll’s first recruiting
class at Clarkson in the spring of 2003 and his career
thus far has reflected Clarkson’s last three campaigns.
He’s been steady and productive, but has fallen
short of the upper tier of ECAC Hockey League forwards.
Clarkson head coach George Roll
on recruiting Sullivan: “We really didn’t
see him play that much and relied on other opinions.
A lot of people thought he needed another year (of junior
hockey), but we had money available and wanted to take
a chance on him. We’re glad we did. He could be
one of the best players in the league this year.”
