The timing couldn't have been better for Minnesota State's coaches and an MSU recruit to watch each other.
Danny Heath, a defenseman from the Arizona-based P.F. Chang's midget team, verbally committed to the Mavericks last week. His team played in a tournament in Denver Friday afternoon and this morning, and he and his coach, Jim Johnson, were outside the MSU locker room following the Mavericks' game against Denver.
Heath is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound defenseman from Glendale, Ariz., and likely will join the Mavericks in 2009.
Johnson said he's been coaching Heath for six years. Johnson, a New Hope native and former Minnesota Duluth defenseman, played 13 years in the NHL with Pittsburgh, Minnesota/Dallas, Washington and Phoenix.
