REBEL ALUMNI DAN O'DONOGHUE COMMITS TO MERCYHURST

The Bobcats are proud to announce that former standout forward, Dan O'Donoghue, has committed to the Lakers of Mercyhurst College for the 2010/2011 season. Considered a strong academic school, Mercyhurst is a member of the Atlantic Hockey League, one of the three Division 1 hockey leagues predominantly based in the northeast. The Lakers currently sit atop the Atlantic Hockey League and last season lost to Air Force in the league championship game, narrowly missing an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship tournament.

After a highly successful 2008/2009 campaign for the Bobcats, Dan was selected in the 5th round of the USHL draft by the Des Moines Buccaneers. Playing his typical and consistent two-way game, Dan has dressed in every game for the Buccaneers this season, posting a 4-2-6 line in 30 games.

O'Donoghue spent almost his entire youth hockey career playing for the Long Island Rebels organization in Dix Hills. He did not play a game at the Tier I level until the 07/08 season where as the team's Captain and leading scorer, he led the Long Island Royals Midget Minors to a New York State Tier I Championship and a National Semi-final appearance. As a Long Island Rebel, he earned a Bantam and Midget Minor NYS Tier II State Championship, which respectively led to Final and Semi-final appearances in the U.S. Nationals. In addition to his travel youth hockey accomplishments, Dan competed for Team Long Island in the 2007 Empire State Games and was a High School Vytra Cup All-Star during the 07/08 season. He was also a member of the Comsewogue team that won the NYS Public High School Championship in 2008.

As a first year center for the Bobcats in 2008, Dan was one of the key reasons the Bobcats qualified for the U.S. Nationals as he accumulated 19 goals and 24 assists in 55 games. His 43 points placed him 5th on the team in scoring and his plus/minus rating of +26 was good for 2nd on the team. In addition to finishing 22ndin league scoring, Dan was also selected for the Atlantic Junior Hockey League All-Star game where he was voted 1st Star of the game after scoring two goals in the contest. Known for his strong play on the defensive side of the puck, Dan's size, vision, hands and exceptional skating ability have solidified his reputation as a two-way player. His overall strengths caught the eye of NHL Central Scouting last year as he was placed on the Final NHL Draft List for 2009.

The New York Bobcats take great pride in announcing Dan's commitment and know that his tremendous work ethic, commitment and character, and his overall respect for the game, his teammates and his coaches will continue to bring great success. We extend our sincere and heartfelt congratulations to Dan and the entire O'Donoghue family and wish him the best of luck as he embarks on his academic and athletic career.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS

The Rebels Tuesday night practice had a special visitor at Dix Hills, New York Islanders #20 Sean Bergenheim. Sean spent almost an hour on the ice split between the Mites, Squirt Minor, Squirt Major and Peewee Minor doing drills and having fun.

He then stayed until every autograph request was filled for the Rebels players and families.

The Rebels thank the Islanders and Sean for spending time with our players on and off the ice.

NO PAIN NO GAIN

The boys have heard it many times over and now its the parents turn. No pain no gain. Construction of the new ice rink is underway and it has had a major impact on parking at the old rink. For now after dropping the player and his equipment off at the rink parents must park at the pool parking lot and walk back to the rink. We are asking for everyone’s cooperation as we watch the new rink rise from the dirt,
