Commitments

In the midst of his second season of Junior A hockey with the Toronto Junior Canadiens, one of defenseman Zach Shapiro's primary objectives, along with helping his team to another long playoff run like he did in his rookie campaign when the Junior Canadiens won two playoff rounds before ultimately falling to the Wellington Dukes in the Central Division Finals, was to secure some certainty for his hockey future.

Early on in his junior hockey career, Michael Colavecchia, a fourteenth round pick of the Oshawa Generals in the 2006 OHL Priority Selection, decided that playing NCAA Division I hockey was his ultimate goal.
