Although they never suited up on the same Shattuck squad - the school fields several hockey teams, depending on age - Erik Haula and Dansk actually attended the school at the same time. Haula was born in 1991 and is three years older than Dansk.
Dansk also played major junior hockey in the CHL, and was a teammate of Connor McDavid in the latter's first major junior season in 2012-13.
Maxime Lagace
1. How did he end up with the Golden Knights?
Similar to Dansk, Lagace signed with Vegas in July with the exception of playing for the AHL's Chicago Wolves.
Unlike Dansk, who played in the Swedish Elite League last season, Lagace has spent the entirety of the past three seasons playing in either the AHL or ECHL, having been in the Dallas Stars' minor league system since 2014. The difference between the two is while Dansk was considered a major project, Lagace has been the quintessential late bloomer, never having been drafted and battling his way through the minors.
Still a bit of a wildcard in terms of his long-term potential.

2. A bit of a journeyman
From 2014-15 to the start of this season, Lagace has played for a variety of teams in the AHL and ECHL. He played in one game for the Chicago Wolves this season, and has 69 career games with the Texas Stars (Dallas AHL affiliate).
Lagace's played for the Idaho Steelheads, Bakersfield Condors and Missouri Mavericks in the ECHL, and also played for four different Quebec Major Junior Hockey League teams in four seasons in that league.
Overall, Lagace's been a bit of a scrapper, who doesn't have the talent pedigree many other NHL goalies have, but has found a way to battle it out and stick around.
As mentioned earlier, compared to Dansk, what Lagace is and has the potential to be is a bit of a wildcard.
3. Throws birthday parties for his dogs
Seriously, he does.
