Press Release
The Fargo Force announced that forward Michael Booth has committed to play collegiate hockey at Cornell University following his USHL career.
Booth has played in all but two of his team’s 34 games this season and
put up 12 points (4g, 8a). In just his fourth USHL game, he scored a
pair of goals in less than four minutes, including the game-winner in
the 6-5 win against Indiana on October 11th. The next
evening, he again scored the game-winning goal in the 6-3 victory over
Sioux City. Booth has four multi-point games during his rookie USHL
season.
The 16-year-old from Cary, Illinois was selected by the Force in the second round (29th overall) of the 2012 USHL Futures Draft last May.
Four other current USHL players are committed to play hockey at Cornell University, including Jeff Kubiak (Chicago Steel), Woody Hudson (Indiana Ice), Alex Rauter (Omaha Lancers), and Ryan Bliss (Team USA).
Cornell University is a member of the ECAC and has 11 USHL alumni on
the roster this season for the Ivy League school; Cole Bardreau (Team
USA), Armand de Swardt (Chicago Steel), Andy Iles (Team USA), Vince
Mihalek (Cedar Rapids RoughRiders), Joakim Ryan (Dubuque Fighting
Saints), John McCarron (Lincoln Stars), Brian Ferlin (Indiana Ice),
Jacob MacDonald (Waterloo Black Hawks), Christian Hilbrich (Indiana
Ice), Gavin Stoick (Team USA), and Teemu Tiitinen (Lincoln Stars).
