Rochester, MI- Oakland Hockey general manager Corey Hagood has announced that forward Jeffery Schmidt has committed to Oakland. He is one of several recruits that will help bolster the lineup of head coach Sean Parker.

Schmidt comes to the Golden Grizzlies from Davison High School, where he scored 67 goals and 61 assists for a total of 128 points in 45 games played. He will study nursing while at Oakland.
