Future Express Player - Carson Curran

Carson Curran - Defenseman

Attended Flint Powers Catholic High School in Flint, Michigan. 4 year player on varsity hockey team. Was All-State as a junior and senior. Scored 14 goals/ 38 assists, and was a +41 on a team that lost in overtime of the state championship game. Was named to the All-Division Dream Team by the hockey coaches association. Played on Team Michigan at the Chicago Showcase. Was 2nd team All-Conference defensive lineman on a very good Flint Powers football team his junior year, but gave up football to concentrate on hockey his senior year. Also played lacrosse at FPCHS.

My take: He's a big, offensive-minded defenseman. Prides himself for playing a physical game, and loves to hit. But he's also smart about it, in that he only had 20 PIM his senior year. He admits "Hockey is my life" and "I want to play hockey for the rest of my life." Sounds like a great draft pick by the Express, and a potential fan favorite. Tryout camp is inching closer, and I can't wait to watch this guy in the corner putting somebody into the boards.

Welcome to Owatonna Carson Curran.

I wonder why Carson wouldn't commit to "one of the most respected junior coaches in North America" and come all the way to Minnesota?

Guess he did not get along with Schneider.

Maybe Romaniski knows his Michigan Talent. Big difference between MI and MN HS. All conf in MI is like JV star in MN.

He made Team Michigan for the Chicago Showcase. Not a slouch.

Who is BK?

BK = massive calories, high fat, that goes right to your heart. Does the movie Supersize me ring any bells?

What a great moniker to take on by a self centered individual that slips through like polyunsaturated fat.

Yep, BK = Burger King, fits the discription noted above. What I didn't know was that the Burger King, himself, was self-centered.

Quit complaining. Big k is trying to keep the board positive and for that I for one am grateful.
