The Olympia Ice Center's Summer A League is ready to launch
their regular season on May 18 in West Springfield, MA. This is one
of the best off season leagues in the nation with many current,
past, and future stars that include professional, college, prep, high level
Junior, as well as some of the best up and coming players in Western Mass (and
elsewhere). Last year, although there were some close games, Milano's won it all
with a 14-0-0 record.
Milano's had a very strong roster that included league leading
point getter, Frank Vatrano of the Boston Bruins; Tyler Kelleher UNH who burned
up Hockey East this past year as one of the nations leading scorers and a Hobey
Baker candidate; Barry Almeida, a 2 time National Champion with Boston College
now playing professional hockey in Europe; and several other notable players.
Other exciting recent news across the Summer A League was
defensive sensation Jake Ryczek getting drafted by the NHL Chicago Blackhawks,
he is on his way to play for Providence College; and goaltender Keith
Petruzzelli who was featured in NHL News as rated #1 for
North American goalies. He was also picked as the #1 NHL Draft Prospect in the
April 2017 issue of the New England Hockey Journal. Keith is on his way to play
for Quinnipiac.
Dominic Blad (UMass Boston) and Matt Foley (Yale) are busy putting
together their roster under a new sponsor that will be announced shortly. To
make it more informative for local and visiting fans, as well as scouts, Image
News Service will attempt to:
* Provide a roster list of each team and dig out as much as we can find
about each player for your information.
* A weekly schedule so that you can see weekly match ups and game times.
Games are played on Thursday night starting on May 18 at the Olympia Ice Center,
125 Capital Drive, West Springfield, MA 01089.
If you love hockey, plan on attending these games...lots of our local
stars...and some of the best off season hockey in the nation. Plan ahead, don't
miss these games !
