Team USA Under-18 forward Austin Czarnik has committed to play collegiate hockey at Miami University and will enroll at the school following his USHL career.Czarnik had initially committed to Michigan State, but de-committed last fall, starting rumors that he would wind up in the Ontario Hockey League with the Windsor Spitfires.
Playing in 26 USHL games for Team USA's Under-18 squad during the 2009-10 season, Czarnik was second on the team in scoring with 28 points (10g, 18a). He led the team with 18 assists and finished tied for second on the team with a plus-16 rating.
The native of Washington also posted an 11-game point streak in which he tallied 22 points (9g, 13a) and a plus-15 rating. At one point during the streak, he scored a goal in seven straight contests, including two goals in a four-point game (2g, 2a) during the 5-2 victory versus Indiana on January 31.
After completing his eligibility with Team USA, Czarnik is set to return to the USHL this coming season as a member of the Green Bay Gamblers.
