Back in the 5th round of the 2014 NHL Draft the Jets selected C.J. Suess who was a Minnesotan playing for the Sioux Falls Stampede of the USHL. He was committed to attend Minnesota State U – Mankato of the NCAA where he’d spend the next four seasons.
He spent the first two seasons of his pro career playing in the AHL with the Moose although he did make his NHL debut in San Jose back in the 2019-20 season. Two seasons later he would play another three NHL games for the Jets.
