Coach Pore on van Halderen: "Jesper is one of, if not the, best attacking players to come out of junior college this year. He's consistently scored goals with his time at Casper College and can do so in a variety of ways. We believe he will fit seamlessly in our system and can't wait for him to get on campus in January. We expect Jesper to make an immediate impact."
