Some notes:
- Currently 21 years old (turns 22 this summer)
- Drafted as an overager (19 yrs old, almost 20) after a breakout year in the USHL (10+38=48 in his draft year -> 35+60=95 in his overager season)
- Big, big boy - 6'03-6'04 and between 213-220lbs. Despite his size, he is known as a somewhat passive player.
- Posted 19 goals & 77 pts in 78 games with Ohio State across two seasons; led the team in scoring both years, including by a 10 point margin this season. In fact, Halliday had as many assists as the 2nd highest scorer on the team had points (26)
