Recruit Pontarelli picks up two more awards

by Ryan Fay

Men's hockey recruit Michael Pontarelli has added two more awards to his mantle.

The Cornwall Colts forward was named the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) Most Valuable Player and the CJHL Top Forward earlier this week. This season marks the first time those awards were handed out.

He previously won the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) MVP and the CCHL Sportsmanship and Ability Award.

Pontarelli, 19, paced the CCHL in scoring this past season with 52 goals and 55 assists in 53 games.

He will probably play another year in Cornwall before arriving at Union in the fall of 2014.
