Michael Anthony "Mike" Cammalleri (born June 8, 1982) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player, who is an alternate captain of the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was a second round selection, 49th overall, of the Los Angeles Kings at the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. He made his NHL debut with the Kings in 2002 and scored the first regular season goal ever scored in a game played in Europe in 2007. After playing with Calgary for one season in 2008–09, he moved on to the Montreal Canadiens, with whom he scored the 20,000th goal in franchise history in 2009 and tied a franchise record for goals in one playoff series in 2010. He returned to the Flames in 2012 following an unusual transaction in which he was traded in the middle of a game. Representing Canada internationally on four occasions, Cammalleri won bronze and silver medals at the 2001 and 2002 World Junior Championships respectively. He was named the tournament's best forward in 2002. He won a gold medal at the 2007 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships. An all-star in college and the American Hockey League, Cammalleri played in the Cold War, an outdoor game that set a then world attendance record in 2001. He has also been recognized for his involvement in charitable efforts supporting children and the military. ==Early life== Cammalleri was born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and was raised there in a secular household (he described his upbringing as "non-denominational"). His father, Leo, is of Sicilian Catholic descent, and his mother, Ruth, is Jewish.〔〔 〕 He has one sister, Melanie.〔 His maternal grandparents, from Poland and Czechoslovakia, were Holocaust survivors. He said: "It's a family of deep-rooted closeness and unity coming from very desperate times. It is who I am as a person."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NCAA PRO-file )〕 His best sport as a youth was soccer, while he also played baseball and golf.〔 His passion was hockey, and he played most of his minor hockey with the Toronto Red Wings organization of the Greater Toronto Hockey League. He was selected by the St. Michael's Majors in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Draft, but chose not to play in the OHL so as to preserve his American college eligibility. Instead, he joined the Junior A Bramalea Blues of the Ontario Provincial Junior Hockey League (OPJHL) where he was named the league's rookie of the year as a 15-year-old in 1997–98.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michael Cammalleri biography )〕 He was named an all-star the following season and was selected as the Ontario Hockey Association's top draft prospect after scoring 103 points in 41 games.〔〔 At 15, Cammalleri committed to attend the University of Michigan on a full hockey scholarship.〔 He took an accelerated course schedule and graduated from The Country Day School in King City, Ontario at age 17.〔 He then moved on to Michigan, where he studied sports management and communications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Cammalleri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
