A longtime friend, Chris Stovall had great things to say about his fellow senior Razorback. “I’ve been fortunate to know Shaun for over 10 years now. Hockey wise, I don’t think he gets enough credit. You know night it and night out that it’s going to be an uphill battle because he’s going to be in your face making you earn everything and if you do, he’ll bury you. Not really known for his offensive prowess, but he is certainly a huge presence on that blue line that will be sorely missed.

Hockey aside, Shaun is a great human being. He treats everyone with respect and includes everyone in anything he does, especially when it comes to the team. He is a tremendous leader and is one of the most caring people I’ve ever been around. Shaun comes from a great family whom I’ve known for most of my life – some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I had the privilege of playing with his brother Dalton earlier in my career and I’m fortunate I got to play my college years with Shaun.”
