Two Steel Forwards Headed To Yale
Bensenville, IL (July 4th, 2007) -- The Chicago Steel have announced that veteran forward Dan Otto and incoming forward Brian O'Neill have committed to the Yale Bulldogs (ECAC) for either the 2008 or 2009 season.
Otto becomes the seventeenth Steel player from the 2006-2007 team to commit to a NCAA Division I school this year. Meanwhile, O'Neill becomes the first "new" member of the Steel to make his college choice heading into the season.
Dan Otto, from Lake Zurich, Illinois joined the Steel this past fall after being one of the team's draft selections in the 2006 USHL May Draft. He previously spent two seasons with the Team Illinois AAA Midget Major team where he was the team's heart and soul and top centerman on one of the nation's top AAA teams in his final season there. Otto played in only twenty-two regular season Steel games due to injury, but appeared in all five Steel playoff games against Waterloo in 2006-2007. Otto is expected to be a core member of this season's Steel team and a veteran presence and leader with the club.

Newcomer Brian O'Neill was a shining star and simply one of the top forwards at the Steel's Selection Camp in June and drew tremendous college interest during and after the Camp. O'Neill was a standout on the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers AAA team the past two seasons and was selected by the Steel in the 13th Round (109th overall) of the 2007 May USHL Draft. O'Neill hails from Yardley, Pa and is expected to immediately contribute to this year's Steel squad. O'Neill and Steel veteran center Tyler Murovich (Western Michigan) quickly clicked at the Steel Selection Camp and could form a dynamic combo going into the USHL season for the Steel.

Yale finished 11-17-3 in 2006-2007 and proudly compete in the ECAC.
