Mike Davies

I wanted to pass along a little bit of information on a UW Men's hockey recruit for next year, Mike Davies. Here's what the UW Website has to say about him...

Davies, listed as 5-8 and 165 pounds, skated this past season for the Lincoln Stars of the USHL. Playing in 51 games during the regular season, Davies tied for third in the league in points with 71 on 28 goals and 43 assists. In the playoffs, he went on to add four goals and seven points in nine games. A 2005-06 All-USHL selection, Davies was chosen as the team's regular season co-most valuable player.
Prior to joining the Stars, Davies skated for the Springfield Jr. Blues of the NAHL. He recorded 30 goals and 57 points in 56 games played in 2004-05 for the Blues, where he was named league rookie of the year.
Mike Eaves on Davies - "Davies is another guy that can put points on the board. He is very competitive around the puck and has a knack around the net in terms of being able to put the puck in the net."

Andy Baggot also wrote a nice piece on Davies and past/future teammate Ben Grotting that you can check out by clicking here.

Finally, you can also learn a bit about Mike by visiting his Myspace site.
