  • Cinderella Story

    First: Congrats to Mike Sellitto. Now the story.

    Mike Sellitto is a 5" 10", 170 lb forward who has played for the Division II ACHA Florida Gulf Coast University Club Hockey team. Considered a role player and averaging 18 points a season, the 22 year old never let the dream of pro hockey die.

    Sellitto sent a hightlight video of himself to several NHL teams. The video only showed hustle, hitting, and grinding play. No goals were featured. He received a call and invitation from the Islanders to attend a mini-camp this summer. The Islanders signed four players from the camp including 24 y/o Matt Duffy a veteran of the AHL and ECHL, 21 y/o Guelph Storm vet and 6th round Florida Panther pick Corey Syvret, 21 y/o Justin Taylor a London Knight vet and 6th round pick of the Capitals and 22 y/o Westin, FL native Mike Sellitto, a 3 year player from ACHA div. 2.

    Sellitto signed a 2 way contract with the AHL Bridgeport Soundtigers and Odessa of the CHL.

    Congrats Mike.....Live'n the Dream

      Cool story, and kudos are certainly warranted, though still not quite as impressive as an Oswego journalism major making it to A-SID at one of the more prestigious Vermont Ivy League schools

            But Norwich is s-o-o-o-o not Ivy League...you can actually work in the private sector, (or military), with a Norwich degree.
