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! -

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!

Yeah I know only last week that I saw the movie. Must run out and buy it. Even though he's taken he's still fine to look at. How sad that the hockey season is probably not going to happen this year. That's it for now. Time to go out and party.
