BostonBruins.com -- Whenever Harvard forward Alex Fallstrom laces up the skates for practice with Head Coach Ted Donato, he gets the first hand experience of learning from a former professional hockey player, one who spent nine out of 13 seasons (1991-98, 2003-04) with the Boston Bruins.  

Donato's keen eye for detail benefits the entire team, but his experience with the Black & Gold is particularly helpful to Fallstrom, who was traded to the B’s after being selected by the Minnesota Wild in the 2009 Entry Draft (116th).  

"What's really cool about Coach Donato is that he has such an eye for detail and with playing at Harvard and the NHL, you really see the game so well," Fallstrom said. "It’s not only like system-wise and stuff, it’s minor details through the game that can make a huge difference which makes him a really good coach."
