"I've been pretty sure that I was going to commit to Denver for a long time now. I've been thinking and talking with my family and some friends and I just knew that it was the best decisions for me to make. I felt that now was a good time to formally make an announcement. Denver has a great hockey program, the city is great, and when I was there I felt good knowing that this is where I would be living. This year has helped me a lot. I feel that I have made progress this year and I am ready to play division I hockey." - Storm goalie Filip Larsson
