Yale University's hockey program received a verbal commitment from Cleveland Barons U16 forward and Youngstown Phantoms tender Curtis Hall on Monday.
I'm excited to announce my commitment to play hockey for the Yale Bulldogs. Thanks to my family, coaches, and teammates for all the support!

Hall, a 2000-born prospect, has good speed, has good offensive instincts, can make nice passes and plays with some grit to his game. He is good on puck pursuit and can disrupt opposing players with his aggressive stick and quickness.
The Chagrin Falls, Ohio native had 10 goals and 24 assists in T1EHL action for the Barons last winter. The six-foot Hall is a right shot who had two goals in last summer's USA Hockey Select 15 Player Development Camp.
