Upper Canada College:
UCC couldn’t be more excited about the arrival of the third season of the CPSHA. The level of hockey competition has never been higher in Canada and the members of the CPSHA continue to aim to be the driving force as prep hockey continues to grow in Canada.
The Blues have added 12 new student athletes to our roster, with the belief that this is to be an extremely deep and competitive roster that will complement our core returning players. Although last year’s team fell short of our goals, the character and competitiveness of that team laid the foundation for this team’s future success. Our new players continue the trend of hailing mainly from Ontario and Quebec and will most definitely turn some heads.
Dan Noble will be returning for his third season as Director of Hockey and Head prep coach. We also are extremely excited to announce the hiring of Brett MacLean as our assistant director of hockey and assistant prep coach. Brett had a tremendous CHL career cracking the 100 point mark twice and scoring 61 goals in his final season. He was drafted to the Arizona Coyotes but unfortunately had his pro career cut short due to a severe heart condition. Mike Clarke and Justin Baker will also be on the bench as skill and D coaches. Mike Clarke played at Elmira College and played 6 years pro and is not one of the top skill coaches in Toronto. Justin Baker played at St Lawrence University and 5 years pro.
The new season has been marked with a significant renovation to our locker room. We couldn’t be more thankful for the families that helped make this happen and proud of the alumni who helped lay the foundation for the future success of our program.
We believe that this team will live up to its expectations and that a number of our players would be great additions to any Jr or NCAA program.
