From cut to captain: Patrick Sgarlata’s road to Oregon hockey leadership

Daily Emerald, Hockey, Stories & Features, University of Oregon

Third time was a charm for then-junior Patrick Sgarlata. After two years of being cut from the Oregon club hockey team, he finally earned a roster spot and the Oregon jersey on his back.

Now a graduate, the jersey he wears currently is a little different than before. He sports a number 10 on his back instead of his previous 26 and a ā€œCā€ on his front. Sgarlata is now the captain of the team he struggled to make two years ago.
