EJHL player of the year tabbed as 5th round pickApril 15, 2009
Wayne, NJ - The Jersey Hitmen are proud to announce that EJHL leading scorer and EJHL player of the year, Jeremy Langlois, is rated as a top 120 north american skater by the NHL central scouting board. This 'end of season' rating by the NHL tabs Langlois as the first pick in the 5th round of this summers upcoming draft.
"I am so happy for Jeremy and his family," commented coach Harris. "Jeremy took a leap of faith leaving Phoenix, AZ for the Hitmen and the EJHL. He did not know much about the league or our franchise but trusted in our philosophy and more importantly trusted in the coaching staff, he trusted in our approach to developing players and he bought into our attention to detail both on and off the ice." Harris went on to say, "Its players like Langlois that come to New Jersey ready for the rigors of our off ice training program, up tempo competitive nature of our practices and buy into our culture that have had great success. I know that Jeremy will be an excellent player in the ECAC next season, and has a very bright future beyond college."
Langlois finished last season with a 41-54-95 scoring line in 55 games.
