M. Icers' Krueger Steps Up for Defensive Unit

It is a story that spans 21 years, four countries, two continents, and ends at the blue line of Lynah Rink. It includes such notable figures as Mike Schafer ’86, Uwe Krupp and Sidney Crosby. The subject of the tale is Justin Krueger, who in his sophomore year has emerged as one of Cornell’s top defensemen and a stabilizing force on the blue line. Krueger was introduced to hockey through his father, Ralph Krueger, who played professionally in Canada and Germany, and is the coach of the Swiss national team. It was while Ralph was playing in Europe that Justin was born, in Dusseldorf, Germany.
