    He admits to patterning his game after Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger. "Being from Chicago, I love the Blackhawks and guys like Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook, but I try and emulate my game around Chris Pronger -- a big, puck-moving defenseman ... I want to be one of those guys who are mean in front of the net and who opposing forwards are scared to come down on and play against. I want to put the fear into the eye of the forward and make him realize that when he's coming by our net, they're going to get hacked or hit hard." Riding shotgun with Moore last season, Lind had 2 goals, 5 points and 45 penalty minutes in 50 games with the Steel last year. Full Article at National Hockey league | NHL.com

  3. Kevin has plenty of upside; he's a big, strong kid and is tough to play against one-on-one ... He can handle the puck well and has all the attributes of a player who can play in the NHL one day.

  5. He was my defensive partner with the Chicago Steel (of the United States Hockey League) and was a pretty consistent player ... We've talked a lot and he's been picking my brain about what it was like on draft day. It'll be fun to see how Kevin does at the draft in June.

  6. Right now, Kevin would probably be considered our top defenseman since he has the most experience on the blue line and, maybe, in the league ... He made some great strides last year as a rookie coming in and now he's got to step up and be that guy who the rest of the team looks up to.

  7. It was an overtime game-winner that put us in the bronze-medal game ... I remember it being a three-on-two and Colten St. Clair (USHL's Fargo Force) kind of dropped me the puck and I skated into the slot and fired one five-hole. It ended up going in, so that was pretty special.
