Erik Middendorf spent two seasons in the USNTDP and another two years with Michigan State before turning pro
Middendorf was a standout with the Jr. Coyotes throughout his minor hockey career prior to joining the USNTDP
He attended the New Jersey Devils development camp in the summer and training camp prior to the 2023-2024 season
The Arizona native tallied the game winner in an preseason contest against the Boston Bruins on September 18th, 2023
Erik’s jersey shows visible wear with one large unrepaired hole, some board burns and light stick/puck marks, as well as one very interesting repair on the left sleeve numbers
This jersey is photomatched to that wear on the left sleeve #7 as can be seen in the photo above; it looks as if the team removed the damaged #7, patched the hole, and then resewed the number
Middendorf’s jersey has both the New Jersey Devils tagging and MeiGray tagging in the back hem
