MPHL Kickoff Coming Up
The Midwest Prep Hockey League (MPHL) is holding its annual Kickoff Tournament in South Burlington, Vt. (Cairns Arena) this coming Friday through Sunday Nov. 15-17.
The league holds the tournament in South Burlington in order to be within range of colleges in the Northeast as well as pro and junior scouts.
Each of the league’s 10 teams will play five games over the weekend, and due to the compressed schedule games will consist of three 15-minute periods.
This is a good opportunity for college recruiters and scouts, as it will be the only time, other than the playoffs – won last season by the Edge School, 2-1, over St. Andrew’s College -- that all league teams will be in one place.
The league, which has a new commissioner in Loyola head coach DJ LaVarre, has had a lot of success over the last few years.
Two years ago, F Mark Jankowski of Stanstead College, now a sophomore at Providence College, was a first round draft pick of the Calgary Flames.
This past June, Calgary drafted D John Gilmour, ex of Gilmour Academy and now also a sophomore at PC.
Last year, St. Andrew’s College F Warren Foegele, who will be in action in S. Burlington this coming weekend, committed to UNH for the fall of ’15.
Also last season, Ridley College goaltender Cam Hackett, now with the Green Bay Gamblers (USHL), committed to Cornell for fall ’14.
Another commit from last season was Stanstead College’s 6’4” D Alexandre Coulombe, who will be suiting up for the University of Vermont next fall. He’s with the Penticton Vees (BCHL) right now.
Last month, 6’5” F Matt Ustaski, ex of Lake Forest Academy and now with the Langley Rivermen (BCHL), committed to the University of Wisconsin for the fall of ’14.
Also last month, D Rory McGuire, who graduated from St. Andrews College last spring, committed to Colgate for ’15. McGuire is now playing for the Victoria Grizzlies (BCHL) along with four of his former teammates from St. Andrew’s.
