Lakers add 2009 OPJHL Div. MVP

Lake Superior State has received a verbal commitment from Oakville Ontario native Domenic Monardo from the Aurora Tigers of the Ontatio Junior Hockey League for the 2009 season. The 5'10, 180 pound forward has scored 39 goals and 79 points in 49 games this season to lead Aurora in scoring tying him for 16th in the league, to be named MVP of the OJHL’s Phillips Division. Monardo has rallied back to have a spectacular season this year for the Tigers after having his neck broken in a game early last season while playing for the Oakville Blades. Monardo’s broken neck kept him off the ice the remainder of the 2007-08 season, finishing the season with 8 goals and 17 points in 14 games. Prior to his injury shortened season Monardo had 14 goals and 34 points in 2006-07 for Oakville, and 12 goals and 23 points for Collingwood in 2005-06. http://www.oakvillebeaver.com/news/article/231333
