The following article featuring David Meckler, who played at Yale, appeared in the January 28 issue of the Union-Leader.
David Meckler plays "much older" than his 21 years of age. The
second-year pro forward has gained a reputation for having a
relentlessly hard-nosed, hard-working play style that so impressed
the Los Angeles Kings that they re-signed him to a three-year
contract this past summer.
He learned to skate at 2 and was playing forward by age 4 in the
Chicago area. At 18, following two seasons in the college-track
USHL, Meckler played for a year at Yale then moved onto Canadian
juniors quickly turning pro at 20.
"Knowing that I could always go back to college I decided I just
wanted to play hockey," he said. "If I was going to do this I was
going to give it my all and do everything I could."
