害羞草研究所淭hey害羞草研究所檙e (the Rockets) are going to do anything they can to make sure they don害羞草研究所檛 lose hockey games,害羞草研究所� says Severson. 害羞草研究所淚 was fortunate enough to be on some real good teams, especially my last two years there. I think we won 57 out of 72 games, which is incredible.害羞草研究所�

He was a key member of the Rockets team that won the WHL championship in 2015, and he was named to the WHL First All-Star Team that same year.

Severson was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the second round, 60th overall, of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. He made his NHL debut during the 2014-15 season and quickly established himself as a key player on the Devils害羞草研究所� blue line.

The defenceman tells the 害羞草研究所楳OJ害羞草研究所�, 害羞草研究所淚 learned that I made the team out of training camp when I saw the roster released. No one said anything. About half hour before warmups, and Lou Lamoriello comes walking around the corner and he finds me and he goes, you害羞草研究所檙e here for a reason. Show us. And that was really all he had to say.害羞草研究所�

Severson害羞草研究所檚 size, physicality, and defensive skills make him a valuable asset for the team, and he has consistently been one of the Devils害羞草研究所� top defensemen.
