Dan Kerluke of the Brampton Capitals, a 62-goal scorer and an all-star in
the (Ontario) Provincial Junior A League, has verbally committed to attend
the University of Maine on a hockey scholarship.
 
He will attend Maine pending admission to the institution.
 
The 20-year-old Kerluke, a 5-foot-11, 175-pounder who finished the regular
season with 111 points, was also recruited by Alabama-Huntsville and Brown.
 
"He's real fast.  He's faster carrying the puck than some guys are without
the puck," said Brampton assistan Mario Cicchillo.  "And he can shoot the
puck.  He quarterbackes our power play from the point.  He also kills
penalties.  He does everything.  Maine is getting a very good player."
 
Kerluke said, "A lot of people have told me that Maine is one of the best
hockey schools around.  It has a great location and the school has great
academics.  I'm looking forward to it very much."
