Michael Hage is back for his second NCAA season, and let’s just say that the Canadiens’ prospect is off to a strong start. He scored five points (two goals) in his first game of the campaign on Friday night… and followed that up on Saturday, with two more assists in his second game. He now has seven points in just two games… and that puts him at the top of the NCAA scoring charts. That’s interesting!

What’s also special is the fact that Hage is doing all this… playing on his club’s second line. The center gets some powerplay time, but he’s playing on his team’s second unit at even strength.I have a feeling that could change if Hage continues to be so dominant….

Obviously, it’s still early in the season and we can’t draw conclusions too quickly either.
But by producing like this, Hage could give himself a real chance of going home with the Hobey Baker trophy at the end of the season. Which, in reality, would be really interesting for him. It could give him confidence for what’s to come, and it could allow him to move on to the next level (the AHL or NHL) with a big season behind him, which can always help a youngster of his age. Because let’s not forget this either: we could see Hage sign his first pro contract and play a few games in Montreal or Laval between now and the end of the campaign (following his club’s elimination), and if he arrives with full confidence, his adaptation will go more smoothly.
In any case, for the time being, it’s hard to fault him for anything in his game.
