Ice in his veins

Jeremy Morin strapped on his skates as a youngster, dreaming of what every kid wants - a chance to play professionally.

Now, the Auburn kid who isn't even old enough to vote has his dream in reach. Morin, who plays for USA Hockey's National Team Development Program Under-18 team, is projected to get drafted by the NHL in 2009. But Morin won't be sitting around waiting for his name to be called on draft day. Well, he may be sitting, but he probably won't be waiting long.

Morin is predicted to go high in the first round, a feat not many athletes can say they even came close to.
