Michael Hage (born April 14, 2006) is a Canadian ice hockey centre for Michigan in the Big Ten Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). He was selected in the first round, 21st overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2024 NHL entry draft.

Playing career

Early years

During the 2021–22 season, Hage recorded 46 goals and 70 assists in 57 games for the Toronto Jr. Canadiens U16 AAA team. At that year's OHL Cup, Hage led his team with 16 points in seven games, helping the Toronto Jr. Canadiens reach the tournament final.[1]

Junior

On April 20, 2022, Hage was drafted ninth overall by the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in the 2022 OHL Draft.[2] After not signing with the Rangers, he was declared a defected player, and his rights were traded to the Sudbury Wolves in exchange for a supplemental first-round pick in the 2023 OHL Draft as compensation, Sudbury's fourth-round pick in the 2025 OHL Draft, as well as three conditional draft picks.[3][4]

On April 26, 2022, Hage signed with the Chicago Steel of the United States Hockey League (USHL) for the 2022–23 season.[5] In September 2022, he suffered a torn labrum during his first practice with the Steel. Hage would return in March 2023 and recorded five goals and five assists in the Steel's final 13 games of the season.[6][7][8]

During the 2023–24 season, he recorded 33 goals and 42 assists in 54 regular season games. His 33 goals ranked sixth and his 42 assists were tied for tenth in the USHL.[9] He was named the USHL Forward of the Week for the week ending March 4, 2024, after he recorded two goals and five assists in three games.[10] He was again named the USHL Forward of the Week for the week ending March 18, after he recorded four goals and four assists in three games, his third such honor in as many weeks.[11] Hage was subsequently named to the All-USHL First Team following the season.[12]

In advance of the 2024 NHL entry draft in Las Vegas, Hage received the E. J. McGuire Award of Excellence, bestowed by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau to "the candidate who best exemplifies commitment to excellence through strength of character, competitiveness, and athleticism."[13] He was selected in the first round (21st overall) by the Montreal Canadiens.[14][15]

Collegiate

Hage is committed to play collegiately for Michigan in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) beginning in the 2024–25 season.[16][17] On October 4, 2024, Hage would register two points in his NCAA debut versus Minnesota State in a 5-2 loss,[18] followed by an additional two point effort, including his first collegiate goal, a day later in a 4-1 victory.[19]

Personal life

Hage was born to parents Alain and Rania. Following the former's unexpected death resulting from a swimming pool accident in July 2023, Hage dedicated the 2023–24 season to his father.[20][21]
