Kyle Palmieri played only one season at Notre Dame, but that experience under the tutelage of Jeff Jackson helped him parlay his skills into the professional ranks as well as help lead the United States with two victories in the first two games of the 2011 World Junior Championship.<\/p>\n
“It goes a long way,” Palmieri said of his college experience, which included nine goals and 17 points in 33 games last season. “Just the maturity of my game. Coach Jackson helped me out a lot, focused on rounding out my game. Playing as a complete player is one of the things he really focused on. That went a long way in making the transition to pro hockey. I think so far it made that transition a little easier. Hopefully, going forward my time at Notre Dame will go a long way.”<\/p>\n
