#12 Daniel Markevych Commits to Middlebury College!

The Collingwood Blues are proud to announce that #12 Daniel Markevych has committed to Middlebury College for this fall. The entire Blues Organization is excited to see him continue his success throughout the rest of this season and his future success at Middlebury. Congratulations, Daniel! 🎉

“Collingwood has been a second home for me since the moment I have arrived. Coach Campoli, Mike Tarantino and the whole staff have made me feel like I’m part of something bigger than hockey and myself, like I am part of a Blues family. My teammates both years have been best to none, they are the reason that I look forward to being in Collingwood every single day. I came to Collingwood as a kid fresh out of prep school and the values that were instilled in me and the experiences I’ve had here have all led to me becoming the person I am today. I am truly grateful to be playing and have played for the best club in junior hockey.

The moment I stepped onto the Middlebury campus, I felt the same energy as I do here in Collingwood. I am super blessed and excited about having the opportunity to play for the Panthers for the next 4 years. I am looking forward to working with Coach Ceglarski and Coach Fitzgerald, and the rest of the team, on our quest to winning National Championships together.” – Daniel Markevych 

“The Blues are extremely happy for Daniel and his commitment to Middlebury College for the fall of 2025.  Daniel has made an immediate impact since arriving in Collingwood in September 2023.  His intensity and passion for the game are fun to watch and his goal celebrations are ones that fans especially enjoy.  Daniel has taken only more responsibility this year and excelled in the role of an Assistant Captain.  The Blues are confident that Daniel will make an immediate impact with Middlebury playing alongside 2023-2024 Blues teammate Jack Silverman.  The Blues would like to congratulate Daniel and the Markevych family for his NCAA commitment.” – Mike Tarantino, General Manager 

“Daniel’s story over the last two years is truly remarkable. He has overcome big obstacles and fought adversity head on to achieve his commitment to Middlebury College. He comes to the rink with the biggest smile on his face, ready to work and put in nothing but 100% effort on a daily basis. His passion for the game, teammates, family and life is truly inspiring and he’s left a lasting impression on our organization. We couldn’t be happier for Daniel and his family and are looking forward to following his journey.” – Andrew Campoli, Head Coach
