Wayne, NJ - The Jersey Hitmen are proud to
announce that EJHL leading scorer, Brendan Bradley, has accepted a
scholarship to play at the University of Vermont next season. The 1992,
Richboro, PA native, is enjoying his first season with the Hitmen
scoring at an alarming pace. Just 21 games into the season, Bradley has
scored 6 goals and added 30 assists good for tops in the league. Bradley
has also been honored twice as EJHL offensive player of the week this
season.
"Brendan has been arguably our most
consistent player all season," commented Hitmen head coach, Toby Harris.
"He has only been off the score sheet 4 times this season in 21 games,
and guess what, we lost all four games. He has been an offensive dynamo,
he has scored 2 shorthanded goals, he has blocked shots on the PK and
most importantly, he comes to work every day, without fail. Coach
Sneddon and the Catamounts are getting a tremendous player and more
importantly, a tremendous person. The Hitmen are very proud and excited
for Brendan and family!"
Bradley becomes the 11th division one commitment from this seasons 2012 Hitmen roster.
"I
am so excited to be going to UVM," said Brendan Bradley. "I have been
playing hockey for a long time and my parents have supported my
decisions the whole way. I can not thank them enough." Bradley went on
to say, "it has been a long road from Philadelphia to Fresno and finally
ending in New Jersey with the Hitmen. Playing for the Hitmen has been
an amazing experience and one that I will never forget. From the time I
first heard from coach Harris last summer to when I made my commitment
last night to Vermont, everything that coach has said, has come true. He
told me that I would be exposed to all the top eastern schools. He told
me that I would be an integral part of this 'high powered' offensive
core and he told me that he was going to work just as hard for me off
the ice as I worked for him on the ice. I could not ask for anything
more, and that is why I made the commitment to play for the Hitmen.
Today I could not be happier with my decision."
"I
would like to thank my teammates, my coaches, the Hitmen ownership
(Bobby Reiss) and everyone that has helped me attain my childhood dream
of playing division one college hockey. Most of all, I would like to
thank my family for all their help, guidance and support, as I would not
be here without them. I can not wait for next year, to head up to
Burlington, and help UVM win a Hockey East championship, but before
that, my goal is to take home the Dineen Cup with the Hitmen!"
