Two USA Hockey members, Dan Sangiorgio, Howell,
New Jersey; and Chris Smith, South Jordan, Utah, have been
recognized as Starter All-American Teens. Smith was named the state
winner from Utah, and Sangiorgio was selected as one of three
runners-up from New Jersey. The Starter All-American Teen program
is part of Sports Illustrated’s yearlong, nationwide 50th
Anniversary celebration. The Starter All-American Teen program is
honoring one outstanding teen per state between July 2003 and July
2004. Honorees must be between 13 and 19years old, participate in
organized athletics, and be exemplary role models for their peers
and community. A panel of celebrity judges, including Bob Costas,
Spike Lee, Howie Long, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Shaquille O’Neal,
selects each state winner who will be profiled in a Sports
Illustrated special advertising feature. For more information,
