Player Profile: Dominik Shine
Dominik Shine was a bright spot in an otherwise disastrous season for the USHL’s Lincoln Stars. While the team sat at the bottom of the standings with a 16-36-8 record, Shine was among the leaders in rookie points with 29 (15G,14A) in 54 games. The 17-year-old finished 3rd on the team in scoring, and first in penalty minutes with 165. He can dish the puck, and has a blistering shot to go with very good vision and hockey sense. Shine is a phenomenal skater that has the ability to turn on the jets and burn defensemen to the outside and create great scoring chances. If the Stars bolster their lineup with some quality shooters, the sky is the limit for his offensive production, as is playmaking skills are pro calibre. With his offensive prowess, and ability to play a tough in your face game, NHL scouts are taking notice for the upcoming 2011 Entry Draft. Shine is committed to play collegiate hockey for Ohio State University, where he will join his Stars teammate Ryan Dzingel. The duo are two young promising forwards who will be be counted on to lead the Lincoln offense next season.
