Northeastern hockey superstar, goaltender Brad Thiessen, went pro this year, joining 2009 Stanley Cup winners the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Accomplished and humble, the journalism major—who played every minute in net this season and set Northeastern's season records in every major category—says, “It was the Northeastern coaching staff who believed in me, helped develop my game, and prepared us all for the next level.” Plus, he adds, “Husky sports fans are the best—their school spirit really got behind the hockey team.”
