History

2006-07: Larson was one of the captains on Hill-Murray’s roster the past season. Larson was honored as the St. Paul Pioneer Press’ Player of the Year, was named as a Mr. Hockey finalist, and was listed as an honorable mention on the AP’s All-State team. The Edina native finished his season playing 10 games in the USHL with Omaha.

Talent Analysis

Larson has been a key player for the Hill-Murray the past few seasons. The Pioneers counted on Larson not only to put the puck in the net, but to also take the puck up ice. At Minnesota he will be able to focus more on putting the puck in the net. The big forward has soft hands for receiving passes and a quick release, but still needs improve his skating, puck handling, and positioning. He has a high ceiling since he is a natural scorer, but will need time to develop his body.

Future

Has committed to play at the University of Minnesota once he finishes his career in the USHL.
