Chris gratton

[Chris Gratton, a key player on the Panthers' power kill earlier in the year, returned to the lineup after missing the previous three games after injuring himself Oct. 13 against the Bruins.] I kind of strained a groin muscle, groin hamstring, ... The only thing you can do for those is just rest them.

I signed here last summer to come here and (want) to stay as long as I can. I love it here, and I don't want to move. I'm not afraid to admit that.

[For the first few days on campus, the Leaks lived together in Chris' apartment. But after so many years of sharing a bedroom while growing up, that got old pretty quick.] Chris said to me, 'When is C.J. going to get an apartment, Dad?' ... They love each other, but they have to have their space.

The other employees love Chris. They take care of him, and they make sure he's doing OK.

Chris' career was outstanding here at the University of Maryland. He has contributed a great deal to our success the last 31/2 years. I'm fully confident Chris will be successful in life.
