WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"Competitive stopper comes from an athletic background." (Chuck Carlton, The Hockey News Future Watch 2001)

"Ellis made the jump from the USHL to college hockey and has an outstanding season as a freshman. Set several school records for the University of Nebraska [-Omaha]. Solid fundamentally, he's a very athletic goalie." (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 204)

"Ellis makes goaltender a position of strength for the Stars. After a solid freshman year at Nebraska-Omaha, Ellis blossomed, putting together a seven-game winning streak that included a 1.00 goals-against average and .966 save percentage with three shutouts. His strengths are solid fundamentals mixed with athleticism. He has a 29-inch vertical leap and just 4 percent body fat." (Chuck Carlton, The Hockey News Future Watch 2002)

"An extremely athletic goaltender with good reflexes, Ellis finished Top 15 in both goals-against average and save percentage as a sophomore in college hockey last season. The Stars have been pleased with his progress." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 198)

"Has rebounded from slow start to post 2.16, .941 numbers in recent five-game stretch." (Chuck Carlton, The Hockey News Future Watch 2003, p. 25)
