FOXBORO, Mass. — The third week of Foxboro Prep League games got underway on Wednesday night at the Foxboro Sports Center.
USA Hockey's Select 16 Camp began on Wednesday, too, so some high-end '09s were missing from action. Select Camps will run through mid-July, so attendance may not be perfect over the next few weeks.
While it's certainly summer hockey, Wednesday's Foxboro Prep League games did feature a number of goals, and it gives players a chance to get into competitive games during the summer months.
Here are nine uncommitted standouts from the third week.
Gavin Callahan
Mount St. Charles, 4/12/2008, D, left shot, 6-1/181
Hometown: Lexington, Mass.Â
Callahan displayed his normal, strong two-way game on Wednesday. He intelligently stepped up to break up plays in the neutral zone to transition the puck the other way. He walked the blue line well to look for shooting lanes. And, as always, he was stable and creative on his zone exits.

Max Donatelli
St. George's, 6/15/2007, F, left shot, 5-9/154
Hometown: Barrington, R.I.Â
Donatelli's team scored 13 goals (yes, you read that right: thirteen), and he was involved in a number of them. His playmaking in transition and ability to create and capitalize on passing lanes were impressive. He also used his speed down the wing to draw defenders to him, which opened up passing lanes and routes to the net. He remains one of the top uncommitted '07s in the region.
Drew Karlovits
New Hampton, 8/26/2008, G, catches left, 5-10/146
Hometown: Cohasset, Mass.Â
I've watched the Foxboro Prep League for three years. Karlovits' goaltending performance is easily in the top five I've ever seen in this league. It's summer hockey, so Karlovits was forced to make several high-danger chances. David Bosco (Winchester, Mass.) had numerous chances before he finally broke through with a goal. Karlovits' biggest save was in tight on Matthew Homer. The New Hampton forward got one chance, the rebound popped out and it seemed like he had a wide-open net. But Karlovits got his glove out to make the save.
Ty Leaman
La Salle Academy, 11/22/2009, D, left shot, 6-0/150
Hometown: North Smithfield, R.I.Â
I haven't had many viewings of Leaman, but he was great on Wednesday. His offensive zone entries were strong, as was evident on a play where he entered the offensive zone, dangled a defender and sifted a pass across to Ryan Magaletta (Southboro, Mass.) for a goal. Leaman has good size and makes smart decisions with the puck.

Joe Marchi
Dexter Southfield, 10/30/2007, F, right shot, 5-8/170
Hometown: Foxboro, Mass.Â
Marchi was at his best on Wednesday night, scoring on a beautiful goal early, dangling the goalie. He scored later in the game, too, on a nice forehand-to-backhand move in tight. I also liked his edgework and ability to turn and accelerate quickly. Marchi should be a top scorer for Dexter Southfield this winter.
Andrew Martin
Brooks, 8/16/2008, F, left shot, 6-2/187
Hometown: Wakefield, Mass.Â
Martin scored on a snipe in front, as Will Manchuso (Concord, Mass.) set him up and the Brooks product fired an absolute missile into the back of the net. As a left wing with size, he could get open in high-danger areas and used his body to protect pucks both in transition and on the cycle.
Brian McFadden
Thayer, 1/8/2008, D, right shot, 6-5/181
Hometown: Holbrook, Mass.Â
Yes, it's summer hockey. But McFadden's hands and offensive awareness were outstanding. For a 6-foot-5 defenseman to be able to have the mobility he has at the point, avoid defenders with exquisite stick-handling and either get to a high-danger scoring area or make a smart pass is extremely rare. He was also able to drive offense from the back quite a bit, too.
Cole Sabourin
Mount St. Charles, 1/23/2008, F, right shot, 5-10/170
Hometown: Cumberland, R.I.Â
Sabourin could control the game and drive play when the puck was on his stick. He scored a beautiful goal, using his hands to get to a scoring area, getting in tight and sniping a goal from a tough angle. His hands, in general, might be his best asset. He's slated to return to Mount St. Charles for his 18U season, which would be a massive get for Mount's staff.

Colton Simas
Deerfield, 3/22/2009, F, right shot, 5-10/155
Hometown: Warwick, R.I.Â
Simas showed well. He scored early on a quick release. He drove play and was able to gain offensive zone entries. On one play, he gained the blue line, drew a defender to him and made a heads-up pass back to the point. He scored another goal later in the game when he snuck a shot in coming down the right side of the ice. He always seemed to find ways into high-danger ice.
