Personal: Garret Allen Cockerill ... Son of Charles and Laurie Cockerill … Has two siblings, Logan and Brenna ... Intends to major in business.

Madigan on Garret Cockerill: Garret has a real good stick and is a smart, offensive-skill type defenseman. He has a very good shot, both a snap shot and a slap shot. He plays with his eyes up, moves pucks well, and he's strong down low in his own zone. Garret is someone who has a physical aspect to his game, he can lay on the stick, lay on the body down low and he competes. He'll have to get acclimated to the speed and the adjustment of the college game, but he plays with a lot of intelligence that will allow him to make that adjustment. We're looking forward to him coming in and playing a regular position in five-on-five and hopefully in time develop into some special team play.
