"We at Bridgedale are all very proud of these young men and what they have accomplished and will continue to accomplish as hockey players and as people,” said Bridgedale Headmaster Mike McPartlin.
“The NTDP does their homework and knows that they are dealing with persons of good character, the type of character that goes above and beyond their prowess as athletes,” added McPartlin.
