LEVEILLE PICKED 29th OVERALL

20-Jun-2008 · 11:00pm

The entire Mountainview Falcons hockey organization would like to congratulate St. Catharines Falcons forward #9 Daultan Leveille for being selected in the first round of the National Hockey League's entry draft at 29th overall by the Atlanta Thrashers.

It is believed he is the first St. Catharines Jr. 'B' Falcons player ever to be drafted directly into the NHL. Daultan played his entire junior career in St. Catharines.

Daultan will be a freshman this fall when he attends Michigan State University while playing for the Spartans. He is the Spartans ninth 1st round draft pick in the university's history.

Earlier in the week, TSN's Bob McKenzie placed Daultan at 35th overall, while the national newspaper USAToday pinned Leveille at 29th. The NHL's final Central Scouting report gave Leveille a final ranking of 47th overall.

Once again, congratulations Daultan on this amazing achievement! The Falcons look forward to watching you make the jump to the next level, and wish you and your family all the best in the future!

Pietrangelo picked 4th overall

Leveille on NHL.com

Read an article on Falcons forward Daultan Leveille, released today on the NHL's official website:

Leveille has emerged as a Golden talent

OHA Top Prospects Award

Each season, the Ontario Hockey Association recognizes excellence within its program by awarding six individuals with the prestigious top prospects award.

The OHA is comprised of 10 junior and senior hockey leagues within the province of Ontario. Of all the teams governed by the OHA, the award is presented to individuals who are judged to have potential to advance to a professional level of the game.

Mountainview Falcons forward #9 Daultan Leveille has been selected as one of six players to be recognized by the Ontario Hockey Association this year. The award will be presented to Daultan on Friday, June 06, 2008, inside the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario.

Congratulations Daultan!

Leveille: ranked 27th overall

An excerpt from The Hockey News Draft Preview '08:

"This year's draft is full of players at the Jr. A level, but Daultan Leveille stands to become the rarest of animals – a player drafted in the first round out of Jr. B.

Leveille's exploits with the St. Catharines Falcons had NHL scouts rushing to tiny Jr. B rinks in southwestern Ontario to get late viewings of the slight center, who shot up the ranks and stands a real chance of going among the top 30.

By the time his team lost in the Golden Horseshoe Jr. B League final, scouts from 10 or 12 NHL teams could be seen in the stands.

Leveille is among the fastest skaters in the draft. Despite a nagging leg injury, he managed 30 points in 16 playoff games.

When the season ended, Leveille hit the weight room to bulk up for the draft combine and next season at Michigan State. He rebuffed offers from the Ottawa 67’s this season to go the college route."

39th Annual Awards Banquet

The St. Catharines Mountainview Falcons hosted their 39th annual awards night and banquet dinner on Friday, May 9th, inside the Canadian Polish Society Hall on Facer Street in St. Catharines to over 200 guests.
