| At Dartmouth: Desjardins suffered a serious head injury early in the season and he never fully recovered as he appeared in just four games for the Big Green. He appeared in 17 games as a freshman and picked up his only point of the season, assisting on a goal in a 4-3 loss to Brown (1/3). Desjardins is a rugged stay-at-home defenseman who will be counted on this season to play a key role in Dartmouth's success.
High School/Juniors: Desjardins came to Dartmouth as an experienced blueliner from the BCHL. He recorded 27 points (3g, 24a) in 58 games with the Powell River Kings. Desjardins was also named a BCHL all-star.
Personal: Desjardins started playing hockey at seven years old. He cheers for the NHL's New Jersey Devils and admires the Colorado Avalanches' Ray Bourque. Desjardins played against the Big Green's Gary Hunter in juniors. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is his favorite film and "La Vie devant Soi" is his favorite book.
