He was presented the Lester Patrick Award in 1980 for his outstanding service to hockey in the United States.

Just searching for him on Twitter, he seems pretty popular...especially among the ladies

 

[slipknottin]

He plays every position it seems. (not goalie)

Guess hes going to try to stick on D

The grandfather Lou grew up in Canada with the Esposito brothers--went to Minnesota U. and became an American citizen. He played in the Olympics and in the NHL. He was an NHL coach and an NHL General Manager. He is in the US Hall of Fame. He had a son--Marty? who was drafted back in the 80's and I believe played for Minnesota U. as well but not sure that he even turned pro. If I remember he wasn't that good. Tyler might be his son.

[Zil]

Cake Eater? lol

It's an unconventional development program to be sure.

Cake Eater

 

[eco's bones]

He's committed to Ohio St. U. Smallish D--apparently very agile and mobile with a heavy shot.

 

[Machinehead]

For a guy billed as a flashy offensive D, his numbers kind of suck. But the skill is there. Maybe he'll get better as he grows.

 

[One Winged Angel]

I heard he rooms with Adam Banks.

Oy.......

re Tyler Nanne, a lot of reporters/posters, including Cerny, wrote that we will attend Ohio Sate this fall.
That seem to not be true.
He is commited to OSU, but all indications are he'll begin there in '15

If you listen the 10 minute tape of post-draft Sather comments, at just past 7 mins, he says Nanne to Iowa in fall. I assume that means a USHL team

multiple sites say OSU commit is '15-16

fyi while looking into this, found out that this guy Vinni Lettieri, invited to NYR DEv Camp is also a Lou Nanne grandson:
