Expect to hear Ryan Murray’s name a lot this year. Then expect to hear it even more next season. That’s because the Everett Silvertips defenseman is a late birthday, born after the cut-off for the NHL draft and therefore not eligible for selection until 2012.

But make no mistake; the kid’s an impact player already.

“He’s been unbelievable since the first day I saw him,” said Everett coach Craig Hartsburg, who knows a little something about being an elite blueliner. “You forget how old he is. At 15 he was playing like an 18- or 19-year-old. He does everything right, he’s a total professional.”
