Well,
I had the extreme priviledge of corresponding with 3 people that new Michael fairly well! I posted a lot on his boards back in March and April and a couple of people sent me private messages here complimenting my writings about him. That was very coolbut I was just writing the truth as I saw it. He's a great person and an incredible athlete! I hope he reads these boards and knows how many people admire him.Of course I admire him the most (LOL)! But really I do. -

You may have heard he lives in LA from me. As I said I was so priviledged to speak with three people that new him. He's definitely mostly in LA now! Hope he's having a great time! Sorry I can't offer more proof of this but it is the truth!

You definitely know your stuff good job. I picked up a lot of info thanks to you. Good to know one person admires him enough to do their homework.
They say you can see a person's soul through their eyes i saw a lot more when you winked at me. -

You know, that was the one thing I always questioned too! But someone from his High School said he won a national championship for them so I guess I thought "They must know?" He played for the Walpole Junior Stars so I thought
maybe they could be involved in something National? Anyway.thanks for clearing that up and I wish someone would tell me what the "Super Eight" is???
Anyone??? And that's another question of mine.If he played for the Walpole Junior Stars would he have also played for his high school hockey team? My guess is..no! -

I can handle the super 8 question lol Its actually now the Super 10 but thats a completely different story lol (I would explain it but it was not in effect when Michael was in high school and it would probably just confuse you more lol I knwo it confuses me) In MA high school hockey they basically have four (I'm pretty sure it's four but the Super 8 only deals with division 1 anyways) state championship tournaments: Division 3, Division 2, Division 1 and Division 1A. Division 1A would be the super 8. You have to have 20 points to qualify for the tournament (with 20 games per season) and the MIAA (Mass Interscholastic Athletic Association) has a committe that decides which 8 teams will be invited to play in the super 8. They evaluate the teams based obviousely on their schedule as well as their strength of schedule and somehow they pick 8 teams. Those 8 teams then would play each other in a double elimanation tournament where in the first round the #1 team playing the #8 team, the #2 team playing the #7 team and so on. I don't recall Holliston ever being in the Super 8. My brother is a year younger than Michael and his team was in the super 8 four out of the two years and also we went to the tournament when my brother was in 8th grade which would have been Michael's freshman year. I could be wrong but I do not recall them being in the Super 8, but I definitely know they have never won it.
Also if he played for the Walpole Junior Stars he would not have been able to play for his high school. The Junior team would have been too big of a commitment.
The only thing I can think of him being able to win a nation championship is with either the Stars (I have no idea how the Junior Leagues deal with championships and what not) Or for either the Holliston youth hockey team, but I'm skeptical about that because we usually hear about it when a local area team wins the Nationals.
Well hope that cleared things up and if you have any more questions feel free to ask! -

Hey guys!! I'm new at this but i wanted to comment on michael's performance on Miricle. I bought it the othe16d0r day, and despite the fact i saw the movie at the theatre, watched it a million times cuz i'm a die hard hockey fan..and michael mantenuto fan!! I attended UMO (University of ME at ORONO) and instantly remembered thats why the guy seemed so familiar!! But, i think he's an awesome hockey player, great actor, and of course gorgeous! Thanks for all the backround info on the guy
PSi'm not obsessed like karicoolj though haha just so ya'll know;) I'm into hockey players in general!! hehe.. have a good one Boston1 -

YeahI LOVE ice-hockey also! Michael did such a great job in the movie and is an awesome player.obviously he beat out 4000 other guys to score the role in the movie! And the requirements were really high!
When did you attend UMaine? Did you see Michael around campus? -

Wow Boston1 you really know a lot about him. Just saw the movie last night with my friend and we were dying over him. His smile is what captivated me. Is this the mother of his child that he is engaged to? That has to be tough living in LA, finding work and being a father, which I'm sure he's awesome at. I went to Miami of Ohio, which used to a be a huge hockey school. Many, many hot hockey players. Unfortunately, they only had looks and hockey skills going for them. Not too smart. Keep me updated on the latest news. Thanks

You guys are so funny! I can't believe you only saw the movie two nights ago for the first time! Bummer for you! It was so great and in my opinion for his acting debut.Michael did and outstanding job! I really hope Disney sees this and gives him a lot of credit and $ha ha! But seriouslyI really admire athletes which is what Michael truly is first! That's where my respect lies with him the most! Yeah the acting thingwhatever! If that's what makes him happy then good for him! I"d rather see him play for the Bruins! God knows they could use his help!
