EL PEARSON calls the 2021-22 Wolverines
his dream team.
That may be putting it mildly.
His University of Michigan roster boasts
seven NHL first-round picks—the most in col-
lege hockey history. The Wolverines also feature six other
draft choices selected from 2019 to 2021.
Pearson draws quips and one liners from his fellow head
coaches. He enjoys their wry comments.
"Coaches say, 'We will bring our own puck to play with,'"
Pearson laughs.
Other wisecracks he's heard: "Do we even need to play the
game? You could probably make the playoffs in the NHL."
