OJHL NEWS RELEASES ABOUT RECENT BROCKPORT ACQUISITIONS

Toronto Lakeshore Patriots forward Shane Cavalieri has confirmed his commitment to join The College at Brockport Golden Eagles beginning with the 2012-13 SUNYAC season.

The 6’0”, 195 lbs. native of Richmond Hill, Ontario recently completed his fourth and most successful OJHL season this past year. He joined the OJHL as a 17-year old rookie with the Upper Canada Hockey Club back in 2008-09, notching 17 points in 43 games played. He would play the entire 2009-10 season with the Ajax Attack before splitting the next season between the Pickering Panthers and Villanova Knights, getting a taste of his first playoff action with the Knights. After starting the 2011-12 season with his fifth OJHL club, the Orangeville Flyers, he would be traded back to his original team, joining the Patriots (nee Upper Canada). Not only was it a career-best statistical season for Cavalieri, but he was a key member of the club, helping them capture their first-ever South Division championship.

Congratulations to Shane and best of luck as he joins a successful program at Brockport!
