Minnesota’s Schroeder Signs with Vancouver

Minnesota forward Jordan Schroeder has signed a contract with the Vancouver Canucks, ending his college career after two seasons.

A three-time member of the U.S. World Junior team, Schroeder had nine goals and 28 points in 37 games for the Gophers this season.

Those numbers were down from a freshman season in which he was the WCHA’s rookie of the year with 13 goals and 45 points in 35 games.

Schroeder was Vancouver’s first-round pick, 22nd overall, in the 2009 NHL entry draft.
