Excerpt: John-Michael Liles (born November 25, 1980) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL. He is also a minority owner of the Indiana Ice of the USHL. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana and raised in Zionsville, Indiana, Liles played most of his minor hockey in nearby Carmel before entering the Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. Liles attended Culver Military Academy and lettered in hockey and golf. In hockey, he was the varsity "B" team's MVP. He also played on the Varsity "A" team as a sophomore. Liles was then invited and selected to play in the U.S. National Team Development Program based in Ann Arbor in which he was an integral part of the blueline in both the Under 17's and Under 18's. In the 1999-00 season he was recruited to play collegiate hockey with Michigan State University of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and as a Freshman led the defensemen in scoring with an impressive 28 points in 40 games. Emerging as an offensive talent but hindered by size, Liles was drafted in the 5th round, 159th overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Colorado Avalanche. Alongside Brad Fast he formed a star offensive duo among Spartan defencemen and in his sophomore year scored 25 points in 42 contests to be named to the All-CCHA Second Team. In the 2001-02 season, Liles led the entire MSU team in scoring with 35 points to be selected in the All-CCHA First Team and Second All-American Team. On October 6, 2001 he also took part in the famous Cold War outdoor game, which at that time held the attendance record for an ice hockey game, against the University of Michigan. During his senior season with the Spartans, Liles again led the team in scoring with 50 points in just 39 games while helping Michigan State to a 23-14-2 record. Earning the CCHA Best Offensive Defensemen Award for the second consecutive year he scored an average of 1.28 points per game for Michigan State and was also a finalist for the
