KEARNEY, Neb. – The Tri-City Storm are recognizing forwards Mike Vecchione and Mario Lamoureux, as well as defenseman Johnny Hrabovsky as their alumni of the month in November. Each month during the season, the team will select a group of former players based on their contributions on the ice at the next level.

Vecchione, a sophomore at Union College and fresh off a National Championship title as a freshman, has started the season on a tear and was named ECAC Hockey Player of the Month in October.

The Saugus, Mass. native led the conference in scoring during October with 12 points on five goals and seven assists. Vecchione also compiled a seven-game point streak and was named the ECAC Hockey Player of the Week on Oct. 14 & 21.

Lamoureux, who played four seasons with the Storm from 2004-2008, is off to a smoking start with a new team, the Quad City Mallards of the ECHL.

In the team’s first five games, Lamoureux has three goals and four assists, 11 penalty minutes and a plus-three rating. The forward spent most of last season with the ECHL’s Ontario Reign, before signing with VSV EC in Austria to play with his brother, Jean-Philippe.
