USHL Press ReleaseTeam USA goaltender John Gibson has committed to play collegiate hockey at the University of Michigan following his USHL career.
"I chose the University of Michigan because it is a great program with a storied hockey history," said Gibson. "It also provides me with a great opportunity to play as a freshman. I'm hopeful that I can be a part of a team that will compete each year for a national championship."
Gibson has compiled a 2-3-2 record in eight USHL games this season. It is his second season in the USHL after appearing in 18 games for Team USA's Under-17 squad in 2009-10. The 17-year-old from Pittsburgh was listed as the top USHL goaltender by NHL Central Scouting when they released their preliminary rankings of draft-eligible prospects in November.
Three other current USHL players are committed to attend Michigan: Team USA defenseman Connor Carrick, Des Moines Buccaneers forward Justin Selman and Waterloo Black Hawks forward Alex Guptill.
Thirteen USHL alumni are currently playing for the Wolverines this season: Mac Bennett (Cedar Rapids RoughRiders), Kevin Clare (Team USA), Derek Deblois (Cedar Rapids RoughRiders), Jacob Fallon (Indiana Ice/Team USA), Bryan Hogan (Lincoln Stars), Adam Janecyk (Sioux City Musketeers), Chad Langlais (Lincoln Stars), Tristin Llewellyn (Tri-City Storm/Indiana Ice), Jon Merrill (Team USA), Luke Moffatt (Team USA), Lee Moffie (Waterloo Black Hawks), Greg Pateryn (Ohio Jr. Blue Jackets) and Jeff Rohrkemper (Sioux Falls Stampede).
