The Maple Leafs have signed Notre Dame centre Christian Hanson to a two-year entry level contract, the team announced on Tuesday. Hanson’s father Dave is part of the famed “Hanson Brothers” trio from the 1977 movie Slap Shot
“We are excited to have Christian signed to a contract, and look forward to seeing him play for our organization,” said Leafs president and general manager Brian Burke in a press release. “He is a very intelligent hockey player who has good size and a solid scoring touch around the net.”
Hanson collected 31 points in 37 games with the Fighting Irish this past season.
