The bond between brothers is special. The bond between teammates is special. The bond between two brothers on the Western Michigan hockey team is no exception.
Mattias and Lukas Samuelsson are back playing hockey and going to school together for the first time since 2015 when they went to boarding school in New York. Now they are both in Kalamazoo, playing for the 13th-ranked Broncos.
Mattias, 18, is currently having a fantastic freshman season for the Broncos. He has four goals and five assists through 20 games and is tied for the team-lead in plus/minus with a rating of plus-13.
