The 2010 NHL Entry Draft could potentially be a very good year
for defensemen where eligible current and future collegians are
concerned. Among the top rearguards is Harvard’s Danny Biega.
Biega, the youngest of the Biega brothers playing at Harvard
University this season, enjoyed an outstanding rookie season,
posting nine points (five goals, four assists) in 32 games. His 47
penalty minutes ranked second on the team and he logged upwards of
20-25 minutes of ice time per game. The lone game that Biega missed
this season was due to a suspension he received from the ECAC for a
hitting-from-behind incident at Brown on Feb. 5. Biega’s most
memorable performance came in the first round of the ECAC
Tournament, where he posted three points (two goals, one assist) to
help guide the Crimson to a two-game sweep over Princeton on Mar. 5
and 6. It also garnered the Montreal native his lone ECAC Player of
the Week honor of the season.
Like his older siblings, Danny Biega came to Harvard from the
Salisbury School. In 2009, he helped guide the Crimson Knights to
the New England Prep School (NEPSIHA) championship title as well as
earned the Defenseman of the Year honor and being named to the New
England Prep All-Star team. In his final year at Salisbury, Biega
posted 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists).
