Whalers sign 2011 draft pick Mistele

The Plymouth Whalers have announced the signing of 15-year-old left wing Matthew Mistele, who was selected by the Whalers in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2011 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection.

Mistele - 6-foot-2 and 165 pounds from Whitby, Ont. - scored 43 goals with 34 assists for 77 points and 50 penalty minutes in 60 games last season for the Whitby Wildcats. He participated in the Whalers rookie orientation May 20-21, scoring a goal and an assist in two scrimmages.

“I’m really excited to sign,” said Mistele in a telephone interview. “Everyone was nice in Plymouth and Mr. (Mike) Vellucci seems like a really good coach. Tell everyone in Plymouth I’m ready to give my all.”

“Our scouts really liked him last year and we liked what saw at rookie orientation,” said Vellucci. “We think in time he’ll grow into a power forward who can score. Matthew is a young man with good hands.”

Mistele (who turns 16 in October) patterns himself after Rick Nash of the Columbus Blue Jackets and scored three hat tricks and six two-goal games last season in Whitby.

NAHL draft recap: Port Huron

The Port Huron Fighting Falcons believe they have filled their need for a more powerful offensive punch, as eight of their ten picks in Thursday’s NAHL Draft were forwards.

Only two of the second-year team’s selections come from outside the state of Michigan.

With 20 veteran and tendered players on the team’s protected list, the Fighting Falcons made 10 draft picks, as well as a selection from the NA3HL developmental league.

The Fighting Falcons would have held the third overall pick in the first round of the draft, following the expansion Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings and Minotauros of Minot, N.D. Feeling that one of those teams may have selected goalie Max Milosek, the Fighting Falcons traded away their first-round pick to the Amarillo Bulls for a tender, allowing them to lock down the goalie before the draft.

Following a long, tense wait through the draft’s first round, coach Bill Warren and general manager Marty Haddad got their wish as Easton Powers, a Milford native, became the Fighting Falcons’ first-ever NAHL Draft pick.

Powers spent last season with the Blind River Beavers of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League, where he earned 39 points on 16 goals and 23 assists in 49 games.

The Fighting Falcons would sit through over 50 more picks before making their next selection in the fourth round, 83rd overall. The team chose Joseph Colletti, a forward from Huntington Woods, who tallied 18 goals and 17 assists for 35 points in 46 games with the Trenton Golden Hawks.

With their remaining picks, the Fighting Falcons further strengthened their offense, while also adding a pair of offensive-minded defensemen. Russian Ronald Kotkin, who was very impressive at the pre-draft camp the team held earlier this month, was nabbed in the seventh round.

The Fighting Falcons picked up a pair of CCHA-bound forwards in the later rounds. Max Shuart, who has committed to the University of Michigan, was chosen in the eighth round. Nick Schilkey, who has signed a letter of intent at the Ohio State University, was selected in the 11th round.

The club also owns the rights to Brett D’Andrea, a forward from Marysville that was tendered earlier this month. D’Andrea has committed to play for Bowling Green State University, also of the CCHA.

The full list of 2011 Fighting Falcons draft selections are as follows:

NAHL draft recap: Traverse City

The second leg of the restocking season brought the Traverse City North Stars new hopefuls, as the club claimed eight players in the annual North American Hockey League Draft via conference call on Thursday.

The Stars tabbed midget forward Kyle Schempp of Compuware with their first round pick – the first of three players TC snagged from the metro Detroit-based U-18 program.

The others – forward Jon Farkas and defenseman Garrett Cockerill – are joined by Traverse City West High School defenseman Frank Gilbert, Honeybaked blue-liner Wayland Williams, Victory Honda forward Tony Calderone, Cleveland netkeep Michael Parda and junior hockey veteran John Fritsche as the Stars’ draft-day take.

“We went into the draft with nine names – nine guys we wanted, and we got eight of them,” said Traverse City head coach Chad Fournier. “I’d call that a pretty solid draft. We’re going to be young on the back side again, but we think we’ve addressed a lot at every position.”

Gilbert, who helped TC West to another Big North Conference title last season, was a Division I all-state selection, and is second all-time among Titans defenseman with 44 career points.

“Frank’s a smart, solid defenseman and has grown into a mature role over the years,” Fournier explained. “He moves the puck well, not altogether unlike another West defenseman, Chris Dienes.”

Fritsche is another familiar name to North Stars fans, having spent two seasons with former NAHL rival Alpena. The 6-1, 185-pound forward played an injury-plagued season with Youngstown of the USHL in 2010-11, recording three goals and an assists in 27 contests with the Phantoms, Prior to that, Fritsche led Alpena with 23 goals and 22 assists over 55 games in 2009-10.

“He’s a kid who we took a bit of a chance on, but for good reason,” Fournier added. “He’d be a great leader, a goal scorer, a guy who has been around the game at this level. He may ultimately decide to go to school next year, but we’re hoping he wants to play another season.”

Schempp (6-1, 170) bagged 21 goals and added nine assists over 40 league contests for Compuware last winter, while Farkas kicked in with 16 points over 39 outings. Farkas (5-11, 165) has played 199 games with Compuware since the 2005-06 campaign, amassing 46 goals and assists on 88 others in that span. Cockerill, the third member of the Stars’ Compuware draft triumvirate, delivered six goals and 11 helpers in 37 league games last year, and 30 goals to go with 56 assists in 125 career games with the program.

“Schempp is a big kid who skates hard,” Fournier said. “Farkas is a guy who is on the smaller size who plays and works notoriously hard, while Cockerill is a big, strong kid (6-0, 195) who is young and talented and has tremendous upside.”

Williams is probably the most offensive-oriented defenseman among the new crop, according to Fournier. With 20 points over 33 games for Honeybaked’s midget majors, and 116 points in 218 career games played with the program, Williams may be among those who try to replace the contributions of likely USHL defections Dienes, Zack Dorer and Connor Schmidt.

Calderone did not play due to injury last season, but has 133 career games under his belt with the Victory Honda program – yielding 54 goals and 35 assists. Parda went 14-7-0 with a 2.98 goals-against average and .918 save percentage with the NA3HL’s Cleveland Jr. Lumberjacks.

“We feel like we did very well and got very lucky to have gotten the guys we did,” said Stars GM Anthony Palumbo. “We could lose up to four of our defenseman to the USHL, so we needed to address that through tenders and the draft and our camps. Now we feel like we have good depth at forward, defenseman, and in net if we do lose some guys.”

The North Stars will host their Lansing open tryout camp June 3-5 at Suburban Ice, and will continue to cull a roster from their returning veterans, tenders, draft choices, and summer camps. Fournier says that Thursday’s draft helped position the club for another season of success.

“Anthony works so hard to find the right guys, and the results speak for themselves,” he concluded. “It’s not an easy thing to identify the best players and the right players for a program, but that’s one of his great strengths, and we’re fortunate to be able to draw upon that keen eye for talent.”

NAHL draft recap: Kalamazoo

The Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings, proud member of the North American Hockey League, announces their selections in the NAHL Draft, which occurred earlier this afternoon.

Prior to the NAHL Entry Draft, the NAHL conducted a one-round draft of North American 3 Hockey League (3HL) players. With their selection, the Jr. K-Wings picked the NA3HL Forward of the Year, Charles Williams.

An All-NA3HL Team selection, Williams registered 80 points (38 goals, 42 assists) and 125 minutes in penalties in 44 games for the Pittsburgh Jr. Penguins. Williams also averaged over-a-point a night in the playoffs the Jr. Penguins earning three points (1 goal, 2 assists) in two postseason contests.

Getting defensive with the first-overall selection of the NAHL Entry Draft, the Jr. K-Wings selected blue-liner Matt Krug from the Buffalo Jr. Sabres of the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL).

Krug was fourth overall in all OJHL defensemen in scoring with 44 points (10 goals, 34 assists) and was a North-West Conference 2nd Team All Star last season.

With the first selection of the second round, Kalamazoo selected goaltender Ken MacLean from the Boston Jr. Bruins from the Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL). MacLean had a 3.03 goals-against-average and went 14-3-1in 23 contests for the Jr. Bruins.

With the 59th selection overall and the first pick of the third round, Kalamazoo picked John Gilmour from the Gilmour Academy. Gilmour was the assistant captain and had 44 points (9 goals, 35 assists) in 62 games for Gilmour Academy.

In the fourth round, the Jr. K-Wings selected forward Ben Murphy, who scored 32 points (18 goals, 14 assists) in 42 games with the Bay State Breakers in the EJHL.

Heading back to secure the blue-line in the fifth round, Kalamazoo selected defenseman Christian Neumann of the Chicago Fury (18U), who had 13 points (2 goals, 11 assists) in 39 games.

In the sixth-eighth rounds, the Jr. K-Wings kept their selections in-state picking defenseman Mitch Wedding from Little Caesars 16U, forward Clint Bess from Belle Tire 18U and forward Mackenzie MacEachern from Brother Rice High School.

In the ninth round, Kalamazoo looked to protect the net with the selection of goaltender Stormer Santana from Shattuck-St. Mary's Midget AAA club in Minnesota. Santana led the Northern Lakes Hockey League with wins (10), goals-against-average (1.69) and save percentage (0.930).

Adding some championship experience in the 10th round, Kalamazoo added skilled forward Brock Raffaele from the Northern Ontario Junior A Hockey League (NOJHL) champions, Soo Eagles.

With their next selection in the 11th round, the Jr. K-Wings selected Greg Gibson, forward from the Huntsville Otters of the OJHL.

In the 12th round it was back to the blue-line for the Jr. K-Wings with the selection of Sean Campbell, defenseman from Capital Centre 18U.

Moving back upfront, Kalamazoo picked power forward Jordan Logan from the Indiana Jr. Ice U18 Team with the 13th round selection.

The Jr. K-Wings concluded the draft with the selection of forward Mitchell Baker from Adrian College.

Kessel Leaves UNH, DeAngelo Decommits

- Blake Kessel will forgo his senior year at New Hampshire and will hope to make the NHL next season with the New York Islanders.

-2014 recruit, Anthony DeAngelo has decommited from BU in favor of Canadian Major Junior's. He will reportedly play for the Sarina Sting of the OHL. Last season, DeAngelo become the youngest player ever to play in the USHL. He was just 14 when he suited up for the Cider Rapid Roughriders. He confermed his choice to play Major Juniors like a typical 15 year old by posting it to Facebook.

Union names Tapp and Dumais as assistant coaches

Union has announced that Jason Tapp and Joe Dumais will be a part of Rick Bennett’s coaching staff next season. These men fill the voids after Bennett was promoted to head coach and Ben Barr followed Nate Leaman to Providence.

Tapp has been a part of the Union coaching staff for the past two seasons as a volunteer goalie coach. He has overseen the development of Keith Kinkaid during this time. He played his college hockey at Boston University.

Dumais previously was an assistant coach at UConn (Atlantic Hockey) for three seasons. He played college hockey at Quinnipiac from 2002-2006. In his senior season Dumais was named team captain and the Bobcats played their first season in the ECAC. From what is sounds like, Dumais was a “grinding” forward when he played.

It’s hard to judge how good these signings are. Behind the scenes stuff is hard to judge and both of these guys don’t have much of a track record. One good thing is that these guys are young, which is an important characteristic for an assistant coach.

With Tapp, it will be beneficial that the team is familiar with him. He will have the very important job of developing Troy Grosenick, Julien LaPlante, and eventually Colin Stevens into goaltenders that can replace Keith Kinkaid. To learn more about Tapp, check out the interview I did with him over the summer (click here).

The one thing I like about Dumais is that he played in the ECAC, so he knows what it’s like to be an ECAC student-athlete. His experience could be very beneficial in recruiting. I’ll admit that I’m a little surprised that Union hired a guy from UConn, which is a pretty mediocre Atlantic Hockey program at best. I guess I was hoping they’d get a guy from a more proven program than UConn. Maybe there weren’t too many of these guys available. But, you never know what will happen. For all we know Dumais will become a great choice.

Either way, the entire coaching staff has a lot to prove and tons of pressure on them. They will be counted upon to continue Union’s success and bring them to the next level.

Not to be confused with Phantom Lady, Phantom Girl, a.k.a. Tinya Wazzo, is a Legionnaire with the ability to phase through solid objects. She's worn a ton of different uniforms over the decades, but for my money none of 'em have had the wacky charm of this boob-window/bellbottoms combo from the late 70s.

Muskegon 'the only place to play'

The Muskegon Lumberjacks’ distinct Michigan flavor has only become more pronounced following the team’s drafts this year.

The Jacks, whose final roster from the 2010-11 United States Hockey League season featured nine Michigan natives, selected seven more in-state players in last Monday’s USHL Entry Draft. Three of their six selections in the USHL Futures Draft in March also hail from Michigan, a bona fide hockey hotbed that was the leading producer of USHL talent in the 2009-10 season.

“We’re located in a state that’s a great producer of hockey players,” Lumberjacks head coach Kevin Patrick said. “When your backyard has those sorts of talented players, you need to make sure you build around that group of people. We love our location, and we are Michigan’s team.”

Lance Fredrickson, who grew up mere minutes from Muskegon in Spring Lake, logged 16 games for the Jacks this past season, bringing the total number of in-state players who made significant contributions for the team to 10. The Jacks in-state players mademassive contributions, amassing 175 points in 428 games. Muskegon had more in-state players than 13 other USHL teams combined.

The Jacks’ philosophy echoes that of the University of Wisconsin, where Patrick served as an assistant for five years, including in 2006 when the Badgers won the national championship.

“At Wisconsin, our 2006 team had 13 players from Wisconsin,” Patrick said. “Half the roster was from Wisconsin. If you have the chance to build the groundwork of a championship-caliber team and have an in-state flavor, that’s what you want to do. It’s a similar philosophy here as it was at Wisconsin.”

Making the Jacks’ Michigan flavor possible is the nonstop flow of talent out of programs near Detroit that play in the Tier 1 Elite League which, along with the USHL, announced last week that it will enter into a national agreement that will make the Tier 1 Elite League the official youth hockey affiliate of the USHL. A total of 56 players were selected from the league’s programs in the USHL Entry Draft, representing 26 percent of the 216 players drafted.

“The Tier 1 league, especially the Detroit area, is constantly producing talent,” Patrick said. “When you look at the draft results and look around the league, you see so many players who came up through those Detroit teams. It all begins with the figurehead who’s been part of Detroit hockey for so long in (Belle Tire Midget Major head coach) Chris Coury. He continues to produce players year after year. It’s great to know you can go across the state and that foundation is there.”

Omar Mullan, who the Jacks drafted in the Entry Draft, led Belle Tire in scoring last season with 54 points (20 goals and 34 assists) in 39 games and pays credit for his success to Coury.

“Coach Coury is a great coach and took me under his wing a year even before I could play majors,” Mullan said. “He pushed me to work as hard as possible on every shift and, because I did, I got rewarded.”

Two years ago, Mullan won a state title along with former Lumberjack Matt Berry and fellow Jacks draft pick Dakota Klecha.

The Jacks chose Klecha in the second round of the Entry Draft. The gritty forward was elated to know he was not only bound for the premier juniors league in the nation, but that he’d be playing just three hours from his home town of Taylor.

“Honestly, my heart jumped,” Klecha said. “I get to play just three hours away from home in the best league around. It’s just a dream come true. I’m very proud, and my dad plans to be at every home game.”

“Parents want to see their kids play,” Patrick said. “As you’re recruiting and offering opportunities, families will of course take that into consideration. Here in Muskegon, we offer everybody great opportunities with our facilities, our resources and our staff. Whether it’s a player from Michigan or Alaska, this is where players will want to play.”

The Jacks’ eighth-round pick, Jimmy Davis, is a native of the Grand Rapids suburb of Kentwood. He and his family were at a local restaurant and everyone erupted when the Jacks chose the blueliner with the 111th pick in the draft. One of his fans erupted a little more than the others.

“My mom started crying,” Davis said. “Everyone’s so excited to have me close to home. As for me, I just smiled. I couldn’t do anything else. I was so happy from head to toe.”

Honeybaked, one of the powerhouse Tier 1 teams near Detroit, produced the Jacks’ ninth-round pick, Brett D’Andrea. Like Davis, D’Andrea celebrated with family and friends after his selection.

“We were all wishing so hard that I could go to Muskegon,” D’Andrea said. “It’s a great program, and it’s very close to home.”

Honeybaked also produced the Jacks’ first two selections in the Futures Draft, Alex Smith and Alex Talcott. Smith is a brilliant two-way defenseman who Patrick believes could make the team in its upcoming camp. Talcott’s mother is a Muskegon native who had a hard time keeping her bearings when the team chose him with the 16th overall pick.

“My mom completely freaked out,” Talcott said. “This is where we wanted to go. Muskegon is the only place to play.”

Plymouth signs 2010 pick Patterson

The Plymouth Whalers have announced the signing of 16-year-old goaltender Jake Patterson, who was selected by the Whalers in the seventh round (135th overall) of the 2010 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection.

Patterson – 6-foot-1 and 176 pounds – played last season for the Hamilton Red Wings, where he posted a 3.49 goals-against average. In 2009-10, Patterson played for the Sault Ste. Marie North Stars and posted a 2.78 GAA and three shutouts on a team that went 27-3-3-1. He was named first-team all star that season in the Great North Midget League.

“We’ve always liked Patterson, going back a couple of years ago when our Sault-area scout Mike Oliverio started to watch him,” said Plymouth coach-GM Mike Vellucci. “Jake’s is a hard worker with talent. We think he’ll continue to improve as he works with (Plymouth goaltending coach) Stan Matwijiw. With the possibility of injuries or call-ups to pro camps or the World Junior Championship, it’s good to have another goaltender available.”

The Whalers have excellent depth in goal for 2011-12 with Scott Wedgewood (a New Jersey Devils draft), Matt Mahalak (rated eighth among North American goaltenders for this summer’s National Hockey League Entry Draft) and now Patterson.

Wedgewood rates an excellent chance of receiving an invitation to try out for Team Canada for the 2012 World Junior Championship, which will be held Dec. 26, 2011-Jan. 5, 2012 in Calgary and Edmonton.

“I’m very excited to be part of the Whalers,” Patterson said in a telephone interview. “I feel I can learn a lot from watching Scott and Matt and working with Stan Matwijiw. I really like what I’ve seen of Plymouth.”

Patterson – who turns 17 next month - participated in the Whalers’ last two rookie orientations and played in Plymouth’s training camp last season. He’ll attend school next season at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park.

Ian Jenkins passes away Monday

Courtesy London Free Press

Ypsilanti native Ian Jenkins, injured last week when he fell from a pickup truck, has been removed from life support at the University of Michigan and is in grave condition.

MONDAY UPDATE: Jenkins died this morning at 7:54 a.m.

Jenkins, the top-rated American goalie for the May 7 OHL draft, was drafted in the second round by the London Knights and signed with the club last Wednesday. He played last year for Belle Tire.

The Jenkins family released a statement Saturday:

"Although Ian is still here at the University of Michigan Health System, there is very little chance that this situation will resolve in the way that everyone might be hoping it will. We know there has been confusion over Ian's status, and we hope to know more in the coming hours. When there is a resolution we will share it. In case the worst happens, we have already made arrangements for Ian to live on and save lives through organ donation. On behalf of Ian's entire family, and Ian, I want to thank everyone who has sent thoughts, prayers and wishes over the past three days. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and has showed us how much Ian means to everyone, not just because he's great at stopping hockey pucks, but because he is an extraordinary young man."

"Our thanks go to Huron Valley Ambulance and the U-M Trauma Burn Center for the care they have provided to Ian since Thursday. Special thanks go to Ian's daytime nurse, Jay. We couldn't have gotten through this without him."

"Ian's dream was to make it to the highest levels of hockey, and he did so last Wednesday when he signed with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. No matter what happens, he had the happiest two weeks of his life leading up to that day, and all of us on Ian's family 'team' were thrilled to be part of that.

“We hope that everyone will keep Ian's siblings Lester, Garrett and Cassidy in your thoughts and prayers. They will carry on his legacy and will need love and support."

WAC tourney attendance doubled in 2011

The final numbers came in last week and it's now official: Attendance for the 2011 Western Athletic Conference softball tournament in Fresno more than doubled the crowd count of the 2010 tourney held in Las Cruces.The four-day event this year in Fresno drew 3,352 fans compared to a 4-day total last year in Las Cruces of 1,673 fans. Making the figures even more impressive this season is the fact

Only 4 conferences reach Super Regionals

There won't be a whole lot of variety when the NCAA Super Regionals in softball take place later in the week.Just four conferences will be represented among the 16 teams that advanced to Super Regional play. There will be six teams from the Pac-10, five from the Big XII Conference and four from the Southeastern Conference. Representing the "little guys," is just one team -- Houston from

News and notes around the WAC: Tourney edition

New Mexico State and Fresno State had identical NCAA Tournament runs this season. Each beat a Big XII opponent in game one, lost to a Pac-10 team in game two and then were eliminated by the same Big XII team they beat earlier in the tourney ... The Fresno State-Stanford winner's bracket game on Saturday was the only game of the more than 100 NCAA Tournament games this weekend without online

The table below tells the story heading into today's play -- who needs just one win to advance to the super-regionals, and who needs two. Numbers in parentheses refer to teams' seedings. If a team needing two wins gets its first win, I will put an asterisk (*) by that team. I am also adding links to articles about teams winning their regionals, in the far right column.

Texas Tech eliminates New Mexico State

Texas Tech had lost eight of its past nine games entering Saturday at the Tucson regional, but the Red Raiders wouldn't be denied.The Big XII Conference entrant rebounded from a 9-0 loss to New Mexico State Friday to defeat the Aggies 6-4 tonight, bringing to an end the Aggies' season.Texas Tech did something it hadn't done in more than two months: win two games in one day. Not since March 19

16th-ranked Huskers eliminate Fresno State

The number of Fresno State wins over Top 25-ranked opponents this season will have to stay at seven.After knocking off the 16th-ranked Huskers Friday in an NCAA Tournament opener, Fresno State couldn't match that effort Saturday, falling to Nebraska 5-0 in semifinal action at the Stanford regional.The loss ended the Bulldogs' season with a 35-19 overall record. Seven of those wins came against

No. 10 Arizona routs New Mexico State 8-0

The Aggies must come back later tonight against the winner of the upcoming Texas Tech-Harvard game to advance to Sunday's action.The win by Fowler and the Wildcats snapped New

No. 11 Stanford tips Fresno State 3-1

The All Pac-10 and all-region pitcher retired Fresno State on 10

Welcome Home!

The seeded teams have been holding their own, for the most part, thus far. However, No. 10 seed Michigan has lost to Kentucky, 7-6, in early Saturday play. The Wolverines' furious comeback attempt from a 7-0 deficit, consisting of a run in the sixth and 5 in the seventh, fell just short. I'll be posting occasional updates throughout the weekend.

In other play early Saturday, UCLA jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead over No. 4 seed Florida, but the Gators came back for a 4-2 victory.

As Saturday's play unfolds, things are not going so well for the national seeds, after all. In addition to the Michigan loss...

Houston scored a run in the first against No. 3 seed Texas, and made it hold up in a 1-0 victory.

Oklahoma State has just spanked No. 14 Tennessee, 6-1.

DePaul has outlasted No. 5 Missouri, 2-1, in 11 innings.

As Saturday's play moved toward early evening, Michigan seemed virtually certain to be the first seeded team to be shown the door. Having already lost to Kentucky earlier in the day, the Wolverines trailed Notre Dame 8-3 after 5 1/2 innings. However, Michigan rallied for 6 runs in the bottom of the sixth and held off a Fighting Irish threat in the top of the seventh (runner on third with one out) to remain alive, 9-8. It's now Kentucky and Michigan for the regional championship on Sunday, with the Wildcats only needing to win once and the Wolverines, twice.

Now, it looks as if the dubious distinction of being the first seeded team to be eliminated may fall upon the University of Texas, as the Longhorns trail Louisiana-Lafayette 5-0. Update: Yep, Texas is gone, with a 5-3 loss to ULL.

No. 12 Washington, whose regional started a day before all the others, has become the first team to win a regional and advance to next weekend's super-regionals. The Huskies knocked off BYU today, 7-5.

Hoomaian to be Spartan this fall

The Michigan Warriors have announced that forward Justin Hoomaian has committed to Michigan State University for the 2011-12 season.

Hoomaian, a 20-year-old from Novi, totaled 17 goals and 32 points in 55 regular season games this past season. In the playoffs, he struck for two goals and seven assists in 16 games as the Warriors advanced to the Robertson Cup championship game.

“I’m excited for the opportunity I’ve been given,” said Hoomaian. “I’m so thankful to the Warriors organization and the coaching staff for helping me get this chance to play hockey at Michigan State.”

Hoomaian competed in the second North American Hockey League Top Prospects Tournament of the season, which was held in Ann Arbor in February.

“The Warriors organization is extremely proud and happy for Justin,” said Michigan head coach Moe Mantha. “He was dedicated to the team and contributed to the team’s success on and off the ice during his time in Flint, and he’s very deserving of this opportunity to continue his education and hockey career.

“As an organization, the Michigan Warriors are pleased that we can develop and help our players continue to advance their hockey careers to the next level.”

Hoomaian is the third Warriors player to commit to a Division I program, joining defenseman Michael Szuma (Michigan) and goaltender Robert Tadazak (Army).

As visitors to this site over the past month are probably aware, I ran a little non-scientific poll on who you all thought should be the favorite to win the Women's College World Series. With the bulk of the NCAA tournament getting underway today, it's time to look at the final poll results...

Arizona State, No. 1 in the NCAA seeding and in the media/coaches polls, came in first in our reader poll, garnering nearly 30% of the 175 votes cast. Second place was "Other," with nearly 20% of the vote. I have no way of knowing for sure which specific teams voters were thinking of when they selected "Other." Likely candidates would seem to be Missouri (No. 5 seed) and Cal (No. 7 seed). Michigan and Alabama were the only other teams to receive at least 10% of readers' votes.

The NCAA website's softball section has both a scoreboard and a brackets page available for following tournament action. Over at Lateral Sports, you can look up and connect to Internet coverage of your favorite team, whether it be by video, audio, or gametracker.
