Two Dexter Southfield players, defenseman Mikey Adamson and right wing Doug Grimes, were the two New England players chosen in the first round of Tuesday’s USHL Phase II draft.
Adamson was the 12th overall pick, chosen by the Sioux City Musketeers. The Quincy, Mass., native is an ’01 left-shot defenseman committed to playing college hockey at UMass.
Grimes was pegged by the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders with the 15th overall pick. Hailing from Brookline, Mass., Grimes is committed to Boston University.
In total, 21 players from New England were selected in Phase II, the portion of the USHL draft where any player born between 2000 and 2004 who has not previously been protected can be selected.
There were 44 other players selected who play prep, Midget or junior hockey in the region or who are committed to a college in New England.
New Hampshire and Providence were both represented by six commits. Harvard had four, followed by UMass, UMass Lowell and Sacred Heart, each with three commits.
Among current teams in New England, Lawrence Academy and Mount Saint Charles topped the list with four of their players being selected.
