Press Release

The St. Louis Selects of the North American Prospects Hockey League are pleased to announce 18U forward Trevor Thornton has signed an NAHL tender agreement with the Michigan Warriors. The Warriors compete in the NAHL’s North Division.
 
Thornton, 18, is in his third NAPHL season and second with the 18U team. In 19 games played to date, the native of St. Peters, Missouri has 17 points (9 goals, 8 assists), which ranks second on the Selects 18U team in scoring.
 
Thornton’s (6’0/190) most productive event of the year came at the last NAPHL event in Oxford, OH, where he recorded six points in the five games played. It included a season-high three points in a win over the Detroit Falcons.
 
During the 2012-13 season, Thornton played for the St. Louis 18U team where he set career highs in points (21) and goals (13). In 2011-12, he played for the Selects 16U club where he recorded 13 points in 18 games played.
