Toronto Jr. Canadiens captain Anthony Repaci (photo credit - Shawn Muir/OJHL Images) has confirmed his commitment to join the St. Mary's University Huskies beginning with the 2015-16 AUS season.

The Toronto, Ontario native joined the Toronto Jr. Canadiens in 2012-13 after spending the previous two years with the Toronto Nationals Midget 'AAA' program.  The 18-year old rookie would make an instant impact, leading his club in most offensive categories, including 24 goals, 56 points, 10 power play goals and five game winners.  His goal, assist and point totals all ranked within the top 40 overall among all OJHL scorers.  Although he would only play two post-season contests, Repaci would still play a key role, notching three goals and four points during the club's six game series loss to the eventual league champion St. Michael's Buzzers.

Back as one of the club's leaders in 2013-14, Repaci improved his offensive statistics to 35 goals and 67 points in 51 games played to once again lead the team, while also leading the entire OJHL with eight game-winning goals and four shorthanded goals on the season.  Getting off to a hot start in September with 18 points in 9 games, he would be named runner-up for the Gongshow Gear South-West Conference Player-of-the-Month and a short-time later was named a member of the OJHL South-West Conference All-Star Team that would finish as runner-up at the 2013 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge held in Terrebonne, Quebec.  His season-long efforts culminated with a three point effort during a 6-5 tie-breaker victory over Oakville that clinched his team the final playoff spot in the South-West Conference.  Following the season, Repaci was the Jr. Canadiens top vote-getter in OJHL Fan Favourite Award balloting.

This past year, Repaci continued to be an offensive force in the OJHL, while also taking on the captaincy responsibility for his club.  For the third consecutive year he would lead Toronto in scoring, with 33 goals and 62 points in 52 regular season contests, while also being named to Team OJHL Nieuwendyk that would finish as runner-up at the 2014 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge held in Toronto.  Repaci ramped up his game in his final post-season drive, firing 12 goals and 23 points in just 14 games played as the Jr. Canadiens surprised many by marching all the way to the South-West Conference Championship Series, before ultimately falling to the eventual champion and cross-town rival Toronto Patriots.  He was once again voted as the Toronto Jr. Canadiens Fan Favourite Award leader, and earned recognition as a 2nd Team All-Fan Favourite Forward.

Congratulations to Anthony on an outstanding three-year OJHL career and best of luck at the next level!
