History

2006-07: Hansen enjoyed a tremendous junior season at White Bear Lake HS finishing 13th in scoring among all high school players and 3rd among all AA players. Hansen was named as an honorable mention to the AP All-State Team and named to the All-Metro 1st Team by the Star Tribune. Hansen will play for Sioux Falls in the USHL next season, and has committed to Minnesota (NCAA-WCHA) for the 2008-09 season.

2007-08: Hansen had a very successful season with Sioux Falls.  He was among the league leaders in goals and points.  He played on the Stampede’s top line along with Jack Connolly, the league’s leading scorer.  Hansen was named to the All-USHL Second Team.  Hansen showed that his high school scoring translates well to the USHL, displaying a good drive to the net and a goal’s scorers touch.

Talent Analysis

While it would appear the 6’-1/2 168 lbs forward needs to put some weight on his frame, Hansen is already a very strong and physical player. He has a tremendous ability to attack defenders one-on-one, shows a nice shot, and can create quality scoring chances in transition.

Future

Attends the Univ. of Minnesota.
