I chose Penn State because I have always been impressed with Penn State’s academic and athletic reputation. DERIAN HAMILTON
Derian is a great skating defenseman. He is able to break pucks out on his own because of his skating ability. He is a smart player who moves the puck well and is able to create a lot of offense. GUY GADOWSKY
