"Tiernan O'Rourke's commitment is a credit to the work and perseverance he's shown every single day. As a right-shot defenseman, he battled through adversity early on and earned his role by doing things the right way. He grew into a dependable shutdown defenseman and became someone we could trust in every situation-five-on-five, power play, and penalty kill. His willingness to compete, adapt, and put the team first is what allowed his game to take off. Connecticut College is getting a tough, reliable defenseman who understands how to impact a game in multiple ways."
