Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2008-09: A native of suburban Montreal, Cisse headed to the USHL to pursue a college hockey career rather than going the major junior route. In 31 games with the Des Moines Buccanneers he scored 2 goals and adding 6 assists for 8 points.
2009-10: Cisse's second season with the Buccaneers ended in December after 18 games when he was cut in the ankle by an opponent's skate blade and tore a tendon. He had 13 goals and 6 assists for 19 points.
2010-11: A hard luck player of the year candidate, Cisse broke his ankle in his first game for Boston University and missed the rest of the season. Having missed the better part of two years with injuries, Cisse needs to set “stay healthy for the coming season” as his minimum goal.
Talent Analysis
Cisse physically fits the Thrashers' trend of trying to find big, physical power forwards. He is a goal scorer with good size, but the lost time due to injury makes him a bit of an unknown at this time. He is committed to Boston University so he will have time to develop and mature physically to handle the tougher going as he advances to the pro game.
Future
Having missed the better part of two years with injuries, Cisse needs to set “stay healthy for the coming season” as his minimum goal. If he can take a regular shift with the Terriers then his exciting blend of size and skill should see him rise up the depth charts.
