"There's a lot of things you can learn from watching a great goalie and from working together with one," Jonas says. "I think I learned a lot in the past three years just from watching [Prestifilippo] play."
If one had to design a goaltender to play for just one season, Jonas would provide the perfect model.
Born in Germany, Jonas's entry into hockey happened at a young age.
"My uncle was a pro hockey player at the time and he was the one who got me started [in the sport]," Jonas says. His uncle, Helmut de Raaf, starred on three German Olympic hockey teams.
Jonas arrived at Harvard after not only excelling at the prep school level in Minnesota, but also at an international level, competing as a member of the under-16, under-17 and under-18 German national teams.
