Groton's Michael Brown '16 attends USA Hockey National 17 Camp

George Klein ’16
Groton Hockey Standout Attracts National Attention

Standout Groton athlete Michael Brown ‘16 has been invited to attend the USA Hockey Select 17 camp this summer, a program that counts numerous Division 1 college athlets and National Hockey League players among its alumni. Only seven forwards from Massachusetts were invited to attend the camp.
 


“It’s really exciting,” says Mike. “I played for the Select 16s last year. It is really helpful to play with such great players.”

The 6-foot-2 sophomore’s skills have attracted attention from teams all over the country. In addition to the Select 17 camp, Mike also was drafted by the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League (USHL), a premier junior hockey league. Mike was taken in the sixth round, 103rd overall—a relatively high result considering that there are 20 rounds in the draft.

In 27 games for the Groton Zebras this winter, Michael scored 23 goals and had 26 assists for 49 points. After his Select 17 and USHL experience, it will be exciting to see his improvement when he plays for Groton as junior next season.
