The Blues feel Cole is ready for the Pros and after their camp this week many thought so too. To their surprise, Cole said he'll be staying at Notre Dame for now.
From The Blues Website:
Ian Cole, the 18th overall draft pick in the 2007 NHL draft, told the Blues today that he is going back to Notre Dame for his junior year.
“It was a very tough decision,” Cole said. “The Blues were great about it, more than hospitable. But I thought that staying in school another year would put me another year closer to getting my degree, and it would be another year of maturity. Honestly, I think going back to school will make me a much more well-rounded and complete player down the road.”
