Charles Thuss is a Canadian public speaker and former ice hockey owner, coach and goaltender who was an All-American for Miami.
It wasn't until the graduation of Richard Shulmistra and the departure of head coach George Gwozdecky that Thuss got his turn in net.
While his numbers weren't eye-popping, Thuss' performance for an undermanned Miami squad were appreciated by not only the team but most observers as well.
He was named as the top goaltender for the CCHA and was a First-Team All-American, the first player in program history to receive that honor.
The Mississippi Surge were announced in 2008 and began play the following year with Thuss remaining part owner until the end of their first season.
