History

2006-07: For Steven Kampfer, his rookie season was certainly a lesson in perseverance. The Jackson, MI native he battled through two separate injuries this year. Despite his setbacks, Kampfer made steady progress, playing in 35 games and posting four points (one goal, three assists). His first and only collegiate goal came in Michigan's regular season opener versus non-conference foe Alabama-Huntsville back on Oct. 13.

Talent Analysis

Kampfer is a sturdy, mobile defenseman who can also play at the forward position. A standout quality about Kampfer is that his lack of size doesn't hinder his effectiveness to play his position. One reason is his skating ability. Kampfer has good speed, fluidness in his stride and can skate with many collegiate forwards. He also brings some intensity to his game and is not one to shy away from delivering hard checks. He possesses great poise with the puck and has a strong shot with a quick release. As Kampfer and his game continue to grow and mature, he has the potential to blossom into a rock-solid two-way player.

Michigan head coach Red Berenson's comments on Kampfer: "We were happy with Steven's progress because I see him as a player that will continue to improve each year. I think he has a lot of the intangibles that make a hockey player a lot more than what you see. Steven's determination, grit and his overall attitude are terrific and I think those are things that you don't always see on the ice. I can guarantee that Steven will just continue to get better."
