Canadiens Prospect Michael Hage Continues Extraordinary Start to Season with Two-Goal Performance
ANN ARBOR, MI – October 11, 2025 – Montreal Canadiens first-round pick Michael Hage scored twice, including a power-play goal, to lead the University of Michigan Wolverines to a 4-1 victory over an unnamed opponent on October 10, 2025. The performance builds on an already strong start to the season for the 18-year-old center.
Hage’s second goal of the night came during a power play, capitalizing on a long return to score with a precise shot. This followed an earlier goal in the second period, marking his second multi-goal game of the young season. The Canadiens invested a significant draft pick in Hage, anticipating his offensive potential, and his early collegiate success suggests a promising future. His development is being closely watched by the Montreal association as they build towards contention.
Elsewhere in the Canadiens’ prospect pool, Logan Sawyer registered his first point of the season in a win against Providence.
Adding to the evening’s notable performances within the Montreal system, defenseman Andrew MacNiel scored his first Ontario Hockey League (OHL) goal for the Kitchener Rangers. The goal, scored after 45 OHL games, came on a routine clearing attempt that took an unexpected bounce past the opposing goaltender, Landon Miller, during a penalty kill. MacNiel, a sixth-round pick in the most recent draft, has been developing his game in the OHL and this milestone represents a step forward in his progression.
