Denver signs Pat Mullen - Hornet Alumni

Denver has a commitment from Sioux Falls Stampede (USHL) right-shot forward Patrick Mullen, who will be a Pioneer this coming season. Mullen, the son of Hockey Hall of Famer Joe Mullen, was a rookie in the USHL this past season, and put up a 14-23-37 line while playing all 60 games. Mullen, who's 5'10", 162 lbs and a 5/6/86 birth date, had a many top tier schools interested in him for the fall of '06 - BC and UNH, to name a couple - but when Denver made the offer for this fall, he jumped on it. Before going to the USHL, Mullen played for the Pittsburgh Hornets Midget AAA team - lead by head coach Joe Gaul and assistant coach Chris Stern.
