Kuraly to Sharks

The third Indiana Ice player has been picked by an NHL team -- Sean Kuraly was picked in the fifth round by the San Jose Sharks with the 133rd pick.

Kuraly, a 6-2, 190-pound center, totaled eight goals and 21 assists last year for the Ice. He was ranked 50th among North American skaters by the Central Scouting Bureau.

Kuraly will play the 2011-12 season with the Ice before heading to Miami University.

He joins teammates Blake Coleman (75th pick, third round, New Jersey) and Brian Ferlin (121st pick, fourth round, Boston) as Ice draftees.

Kuraly is also the 20th player to have played for the Ice to be drafted since the team entered the USHL in 2004.
