Alex Killorn was one of the most highly-touted prep school players coming into college hockey this season, and he hasn’t disappointed.

The dynamic center came to Harvard University after a successful career at Deerfield Academy that saw him post 55 points (28 goals, 27 assists) in 24 games and be named the team’s MVP as well as to the All-New England West team in 2007-08. When Killorn stepped into the Crimson lineup this past fall, his impact was felt immediately.

“From the moment that Alex arrived, he’s been an impact player for us,” said Harvard head coach Ted Donato. “He’s certainly an offensive catalyst that we rely on to jumpstart our offense. He’s a guy that not only is tough to cover and is great offensively, but he also makes other players around him better when he distributes the puck too. Alex has always been a key offensive contributor and I think at this level he has a chance to be a real factor to be reckoned with. He’s gotten better throughout the year and I think the sky is really the limit for his offensive abilities.”
