Two players committed to attend CCHA schools in 2006 are off to fast starts this season, and are leading their junior leagues in scoring through the first two weeks of the season.
The first is Northern Michigan commit Matt Butcher. Butcher, who will turn 19 on New Year's Day, is in his third season in the BCHL with the Chilliwack Chiefs of the BCHL. He has three goals and six assists to lead the league with 9 points, two more than the second-place scorer. Butcher was recognized as the BCHL's Feature Player this week due to his performance.
In the AJHL, Western Michigan commit Mark Letestu leads the league in scoring by two points after posting four goals and eight assists in his first twelve games for the Bonnyville Pontiacs. Letestu is an older player, who will enter WMU next season as a 21 year old freshmen.
Also notable is that Denver commit, defenseman Cody Brookwell was named the BCHL's "Star Player" for September 13-15 after being named first star and second star in his team's two games that week. The award was a nice birthday present for Brookwell who celebrated his 19th birthday on September 14th. Brookwell has no goals, but five assists in four games this season, but at 6'4" 200 lbs., his tremendous size is more of an asset than his scoring ability.
