(Peterborough, ON) - The Ontario Hockey League announced Thursday that Tye Austin of the Peterborough Petes has been named the OHL's East Division Academic Player of the Month for January.

The 17-year-old netminder is taking Grade 12 university-level courses in English, Functions, and Biology, boasting a mark of 100% in his math class and an overall average of 97%.

"Tye is extremely worthy of the Academic Player of the Month tribute," said Kim Driscoll, Co-operative Education Teacher at Thomas A. Stewart Secondary School. "He works diligently on his school work whether that means staying up late after practice or a game, working on a bus during a road trip, or working through lunch while at school." Austin has future plans to pursue biochemistry and medical school.

Ethan Del Mastro (Mississauga Steelheads; Central Division), Logan LeSage (Owen Sound Attack; Midwest Division), and Will Cuylle (Windsor Spitfires; West Division) were also named Academic Players of the Month for January.

Last season, the OHL Centrally Administered Scholarship Program facilitated scholarships for 340 OHL Alumni at 69 different academic institutions across North America with a total scholarship payment in excess of $3.2 million. Since the 2007-08 season, OHL Scholarship payments have totalled more than $25 million.
