Mike McLaughlin gets hockey
scholarship to Boston university
Seaforth native to play for Northeastern -Huskies in 2008
Aaron Jackl,in
Mike McLaughlin, of
Seaforth, has been offered a
full scholarship from
Northeastern University in
Boston to play for the school's
hockey team, the Huskies in
the fall of 2008.
McLaughlin, 18, said that
he had talked to a few differ-
ent schools and had three dif-
ferent offers when officials
from Northeastern came to
watch him play.
"They called me on my cell
phone after the game," he
said.
He flew down to Boston to
see the school and they
offered the scholarship.
"They'll pay for every-
thing," said McLaughlin.
The scholarship will be
$150,000 over four years and
will cover tuition, food,
books, accommodation and
hockey equipment. To keep
it, McLaughlin said he'll
have to "keep the grades up
and perform on the ice."
He'll be studying physio-
therapy at the university.
McLaughlin just came off of
an impressive season with the St. Marys
Lincolns. He had 38 goals and 47 assists.
He also broke two Lincolns records, 21
power play goals (the record was 18) and
fastest hat trick score. He scored three con-
secutive goals in 13 minutes and 2 seconds in
a game against Tecumseh.
That was his third season with the junior B
team. Before that he played for two years
with the Huron -Perth Lakers, a AAA team.
He played Seaforth minor hockey before that.
The scholarship was originally offered for
2008, but McLaughlin said there's a possibili-
ty he might go this season if the Huskies
don't have a full roster.
"I'd like to go this year, but if not, it's not a
big deal," he said, adding that going next year
vould give him more time to get in shape.
r Fight now, McLaughlin said he's living life
in the gym. He was told the players down

there are a little bigger than he is and that
he'd have to add a bit of muscle mass.
"I spend an hour, hour and a half in the gym
every day. Then, if the arena's open, I go for a
skate."
He's put on 10 pounds of muscle since the
season ended about a month ago.
McLaughlin's talked to a number of United
States Hockey League teams in Chicago and
Iowa about playing there
next season. He said they
all said they'd take him,
but he hasn't made any
decisions yet in case he
gets the call to go to
Northeastern this year.
"I'd like to get it done in
the next week or so,"
McLaughlin said about
deciding on a team.
