Eden Prairie native Dayton Rasmussen gave his commitment to Jim Montgomery and Denver University Tuesday, ending his recruitment and solidifying his future as a Division I hockey player. Three short years ago, Rasmussen was named by YHH as its PeeWee Player of the Year. A class of PeeWees that included Grant Mismash (North Dakota), Scott Reedy (Minnesota), and Casey Mittelstadt (Minnesota)...Rasmussen was simply awesome that year and has continued to grow as a top Goalie in the class of 2018.
Last year, the '98 birth year goalie played for the Tier I U16 Colorado Thunderbirds where he put up great numbers allowing only 1.47 Goals Against and saved 92 percent of the shots he faced. One of the most athletic goalies this state has seen in a long time, Rasmussen will enroll at DU in the Fall of 2018. Getting Rasmussen was a huge win for Montgomery and his staff.
