David Pollak writes in the San Jose Mercury News, “The first twin was the one the Sharks had in their sights early Saturday. When his brother was still available at the tail end of the 2008 NHL entry draft in Ottawa, well, why not? So the Sharks ended the day as they began it, drafting a Daniels brother out of Kent School in Connecticut. After using their first pick of the day to select center Justin Daniels, they used their last one to lock up right wing Drew Daniels. But, director of scouting Tim Burke stressed, which of the 19-year-old twins was drafted first no longer means anything.”

Steven Allspach  writes in the Sioux Journal, "Twins Justin and Drew Daniels grew up New York Rangers fans so the outcome of the Detroit/Pittsburgh Stanley Cup decider won by Detroit Wednesday night wasn't drawing unwielding attention. Instead, Sioux City's first two picks in the latest United States Hockey League draft were focusing on the club's June tryout camp that began Wednesday at the IBP Ice Center. The two 18-year-olds who live in Suffern, N.Y., a 45-minute drive or so north of New York City, were high-scoring machines last season at Kent, a prep school in Kent, Conn."
