Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

Played in the Ontario Provincial Junior A League before spending the 2005-06 season with the US NTDP U17 team. He has participated the U.S.  U17 World Hockey Challenge, which took home silver. Left the NTDP to join the Lincoln Stars of the USHL for the 2006-07 season. He went on to lead all defensemen in scoring.

2007-08: In 39 games during his freshmen season at Boston University (Hockey East), Cohen racked up 16 total points, ranking third among team defensemen in scoring. He spent most of the season paired with fellow Avalanche draft choice Kevin Shattenkirk. On Nov. 16, Cohen scored his first collegiate goal and added an assist against Vermont.

Talent Analysis

Cohen is an offensive-defenseman who reads the game exceptionally well. He's a good passer and can move the puck up ice with ease. He's got a good shot and works the offensive zone with skill. He is not a liability in his own end, but its been noted that he needs to work on defensive positioning.

Future

Attends Boston University.
