Clayton Keller played at Boston University during the 2016-2017 season. Lane Hutson wore the uniform of these same Terriers between 2022 and 2024. The connection between the Utah Hockey Club forward and the Montreal Canadiens defender could end there. But no.
The Canadians are visiting Salt Lake City to face the Utah hockey club. The two-game road trip got off to a bad start with an accident involving Emil Heineman. Last November on the eve of a match against Boston, Clayton Keller spoke with journalist Belle Fraser, who covers the activities of the Utah club. In the text, we discovered that the American attacker is still very close to the Hutson family. Having skated at BU’s facilities during his time in Boston, Cole and Quinn spent time with Keller. The Hutson brothers’ father was also present, who has known Keller since he was very young.
«Il is honestly one of the people who taught me how to skate when I was five. In fact, he was one of the first to teach me how to skate at the rink closest to my house. I owe him and his family a lot. We still have a close relationship today. We talk to each other very often. It was a bit like everyone was free. He let us go on the ice whenever we wanted, no matter the time or day. He was there and did everything for me when I was little.”
Lane Hutson’s father, Rob, had an ice rink in Fairview Heights, Illinois. It was in this neighborhood that young Keller learned to skate under the guidance of Rob Hutson. Obviously, the lessons from the father of the Canadiens rookie are very good qualities, seeing the results with Keller and all the Hutson brothers. Moreover, Clayton Keller also had good words about Lane Hutson:
“An exceptional talent, an exceptional player. He’s going to have a lot of success in this league»
The two American players will cross swords in Salt Lake City this Tuesday evening at 9 p.m. ET.
