USPHL Reign acquires defensemen Michael Deforel

The Ontario Jr Reign has acquired Switzerland Native Michael Deforel from the Richmond Generals. Deforel is a 2002 born 6’8, 230-pound right-shot Defensemen.

This season marks Michael’s first year in the USPHL. Before the Generals, he previously played for the Stanstead College Varsity in the CAHS.

Coach Blumes comments "Michael fills a need on our blueline. Obviously, the first thing that stands out is his exceptional size, but along with those attributes his mobility and on-ice awareness will provide valuable assets for us in all three zones as we enter the second half."  

“Our program's mandate is to help players reach the next level and I believe that with the right approach from Michael combined with all our program has to offer, Michael will be a sought-after commodity at the college and eventually the professionals levels in the future." 

Welcome to Ontario, CA Michael!
