Danville Wings Defenseman Commits to Miami of Ohio
Danville Wings first year defenseman Chris Busby will suit up in a Redhawk
jersey this fall. The 6’0″ 180 lb (4/11/82 dob) defenseman verbally
committed to Miami of Ohio for 2002-2003 season. Busby came to the Wings
from Brown University to join Wings head coach Chico Adrahtas who was his
former coach when Busby played for midget powerhouse Team Illinois. Head
coach Adrahtas comments, “Chris’s decision to go to Miami is like a perfect
marriage. He’ll fit very well in there as an athlete and he fits a great
need for Miami. I think Miami is the type of school that Chris will thrive
in and I know that it is the type of hockey program that he will thrive in.
I think that Miami got a future all-CCHA defenseman when they got Chris to
commit to them.”
