History
The behemoth Danis-Pepin began to establish himself as a bona fide force on the University of Maine Black Bears defense this season. Hockey East’s youngest player (born April 11, 1988) saw action in 23 games this season, posting five points (all assists). He was recently named the recipient of Maine’s Jack Semler Award as the team’s most improved player.

Talent Analysis
Danis-Pepin is a towering defenseman who is very much a work in progress that is still trying to fill out a 6’7 body. His size has been a tremendous asset and he has learned to use it well to his advantage. Two areas that have been even more impressive are his great hockey sense and his understanding of how to play his position effectively. He has good offensive capabilities and a keen awareness of his surroundings, particularly in the defensive zone. While Danis-Pepin skates well, his speed is an area of concern that should improve as he continues to mature and develop.
Future
With a couple of departures from the Maine blue line, Danis-Pepin will be given a larger role next season.
