UNH Recruits Update: March-11-2013
Co-Players of the Week - Charlie Kelleher and Warren Foegele
The UNH recruits who are 16 or 17 years old have been competing in their playoff seasons over the last few weeks. Whether they play for prep schools, high schools or midget teams, this is the time of year they look forward to all season. Over the past week, two players who plan to enroll at UNH in the fall of 2015 - Charlie Kelleher and Warren Foegele - helped their teams win a league championship. |

Over the weekend, the USEHL held its first annual playoffs at the Capital One Bank Ice Vault in Wayne, New Jersey - home of the Jersey Hitmen organization. A round-robin tournament was held in both the U16 and U18 divisions. The top six U18 teams and top five U16 teams participated.
16-year-old Charlie Kelleher (DOB: 2/4/97) and the Boston Junior Bruins U18 team competed against the Jersey Hitmen, Connecticut Yankees, Islanders Hockey Club, Selects Adacemy, and Hill Academy. The Jr. Bruins advanced to the semifinals and faced Hill Academy (Vaughan, Ontario). The teams tied 2-2 in regulation then played 4-on-4 in a 5-minute, sudden death overtime. With 1:20 remaining in OT, Kelleher scored the game-winning goal.
In the Championship Game against the Selects Academy team (South Kent, CT), the Jr. Bruins took a 1-0 lead midway through the 2nd period on a goal by Hamilton Whyte and assisted by Charlie Kelleher. The Selects team tied it up in the waning seconds of the period. With 14:16 left in the third period, the Jr. Bruins went on a 5-on-3 power play. Charlie Kelleher, a right-shot forward, plays left wing on the power play unit. At 13:46, Zachary Malatesta scored the game-winning goal, assisted by Kelleher and Whyte. Kelleher finished the USEHL Tournament with a goal and 2 assists in 5 games. He tied for 5th in scoring.
So what's next for Charlie Kelleher? The U.S. Hockey Report recently predicted that Kelleher will be invited to the U.S. National Team Development Program's evaluation camp later this month. If he is invited and is fortunate enough to earn a spot on the NTDP Under-17 team, he will be following in the footsteps of his brother, Tyler Kelleher. Tyler has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for UNH beginning next fall.

In late February, St. Andrews swept the semifinal round of the CISAA Playoffs defeating Appleby College (Oakville, Ontario) 4-0 and 4-3. Foegele scored the game-winning goal in the first game and scored the first goal in the second game.
In the best-of-three Championship Round, St. Andrews faced Nichols School (Buffalo, NY). St. Andrews won the first game 2-1 and Foegele assisted on the first goal. Nichols won the second game 4-2, setting up the rubber game for the CISAA Championship. Last Wednesday, the two teams battled to a 2-2 tie by the end of regulation. 1:49 into overtime, Warren Foegele scored the game-winning goal. Foegele finished the CISAA Playoffs with 3 goals and 2 assists in 5 games, placing him in a tie for 3rd in scoring. He plans on returning to play his senior year at St. Andrews.
