BU rounded out its 2009 recruit class with the addition of Vernon Vipers (BCHL) forward Ryan Santana. A 6’1”, 190 right shot center from Yorba Linda, Calif., Santana had 25 points (12+13) and 16 PIMS in 56 games for the Vipers, who won the RBC Cup, Canada’s Junior A championship. En route to the Cup, Vernon eliminated Victoria (and BU 2009 recruit Justin Courtnall) with Santana assisting on the overtime game-winner.
The previous season, Santana played for Des Moines in the USHL, putting up a 10-26-36 scoring line. He is a product of the California Wave hockey club program along with 2009 recruit Max Nicastro.
The 2009 recruit class now has four forwards and three defensemen.
