Madore Commits to Vermont
Bensenville, IL (April 18th, 2007)
-- The Chicago Steel have announced that
goaltender Rob Madore has committed to the Vermont
Catamounts (Hockey East) for the 2008 season.
The high school senior and Venetia, PA native is in his
first season with the Steel after playing the previous
two years with the Pittsburgh Hornets AAA program for
coaches Joe Gaul and Chris Stern. Madore was selected by
the Steel in the 2006 USHL May Draft in the second round
(13th overall).
Madore becomes the fourteenth Steel player to commit to
a NCAA Division I school this year.
"Rob Madore has been one of the elite goalies in the
USHL this season," said Steel General Manager Jason
Koehler. "His stats may not reflect that at first
glance, but those who have watched him this year know
he's special. Rob's play has generated alot of interest
from quality schools, but after his visit to Vermont he
knew where he wanted to be for his college career. We're
excited for Rob and also in the fact that we have the
opportunity to return one of the best goalies in the
league next season. Rob's a goalie that helps a team win
a championship and should be an NHL Draft choice this
June."
Vermont is a member of Hockey East. They finished
18-16-5 on the season. |
