For someone who follows college hockey as much as I do, I wish I could tell you something about this kid. I had one live opportunity to see him play in Michigan, but left in a fog after Northeastern gave up the lead.

I had trouble finding a solid scouting report on him. I sent an email to a guy I went to college with who was a ref in the USHL at the same time Dalton was playing in that league. I’m waiting to hear what he has to say about Dalton’s game.

He didn’t say much but said that he has known Dalton for years because he was working in the NAHL at the same time that Dalton was playing there and both moved up to the USHL around the same time. He said he is a good kid and a solid goaltender. He said that the Bruins should be happy about this signing.
