Local prospects selected in NHL Draft

Every young hockey player dreams of getting drafted to the NHL some day. Sometimes dreams come true - local prospects Eamon McAdam and Jimmy Lodge were selected in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft on Sunday!

McAdam, a goalie, played with Team Comcast before moving on to the USHL. He was selected in the third round (70th) by the New York Islanders. From the Team Comcast website:

"The Team Comcast Youth Hockey Club congratulates former goaltender Eamon McAdam on being drafted 70th overall, in the third round of the NHL Draft. Eamon is a 1994-born goaltender who spent four of his formative years with the Club, backstopping Coach Rob Badger’s teams to much success."

Lodge is a Downingtown native who moved to Toronto at age 13 to play minor hockey. He plays with Saginaw in the OHL and was drafted by Winnipeg with the 84th pick overall. I wasn't able to find out where he played youth hockey before moving to Toronto. If any of you readers know the answer, please share in a comment.
