Michigan Daily: Michigan Hockey

Summers moves up to front line

Junior works on a line with Rust and Turnbull in preseason practice

Unlike in years past, junior Chris Summers won’t be patrolling the blue line this season.

After spending his first two seasons on defense, Summers will join the Michigan hockey team’s young forwards this year.

Michigan coach Red Berenson made the decision because of the large number of returning Wolverine defensemen. The Wolverines have nine blueliners, including Summers, but only six usually dress for games.

“Chris has such a good attitude,” Berenson said. “I’m not mandating that he has to be forward, but I’m putting him in that role because it will be a good extension of his abilities, just to see what kind of forward he can be.”
