Defense - #12 Branden Riemann - Minnesota Owls
Branden Riemann comes to the Owls by way of the community of Burnsville, MN. He played youth hockey in the community before going to Spring Lake High School where he played 2 years of varsity hockey before choosing to come to Junior Hockey for the Minnesota Owls. Now in his 3rd season with the Owls, Branden has seen some ups and downs with the club. In 2012-2013 Reimann played in 15 games scoring 4 points with 3 goals. Then in 2013-2014 he played in 42 games scoring 19 points with 7 goals. Now this season in 12 games he has 2 goals and 1 assist. The hybrid player plays all over the ice shifting between Forward and Defense depending on the needs of the team on that given night. As the season progresses the Owls will surely look to players like Riemann for some veteran leadership as we are mid way through the 2nd month of the season.
