Captain Jason Deitsch Leads The Americans Into The Finals, A Place He Has Been Before - photo by SceneByKimberly.com

I found the article below on the CHLinsider (chlinsider.com) about Jason Deitsch. What isn't mentioned in the article is Jason's phenomenal record in college at St. Norbert College where he was the teams second leading scorer as a freshman and led the team in scoring as a sophmore, junior, and senior, was first team American Collegiate Hockey Association All-American three times, team MVP three times, is the all time leader in career points and is the all time leader in career assists with 120 which is 27 more than second place. And by the way, St. Norbert won their conference championship all four years Jason was there.

Jason Deitsch – The Mayor of the Metroplex

Fans of the Allen Americans know what they have in forward and team Captain Jason Deitsch as he is a player that competes at such a high level on every shift.
Fans of the opposing teams know what their clubs have to go against when Deitsch is lined up against them, a player who will do whatever it takes to win hockey games.

Winning is something that the Cincinnati native has done his entire career at nearly every stop at nearly every level.  Now with the Americans advancing to the CHL Finals, Deitsch is just one more series win away from capturing yet another title.
The recently turned 33-year-old has cornered the market in titles in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex winning a junior crown in 2001 with the Texas Tornados and winning a CHL Championship in 2009 with the Texas Brahmas.  If he adds a title with the Americans to the resume then all that would seemingly be left would be to somehow get a spot on the Dallas Stars and get them back into Lord Stanley’s conversation.
In 2009 with the Brahmas, Deitsch truly was the Captain and leader of that club guiding them to the title and winning the Playoff Most Valuable Player Award after scoring 11 goals with 15 assists in 16 games.
Prior to the 2011 season, Deitsch ventured across town to the Americans and later that season was given the ‘C’.  He has scored 27 goals with 73 assists in his time in Allen and in the post-season has seven goals and eight assists in 18 games.
The forward has tasted victory in other leagues as well winning the ECHL’s Kelly Cup with the Cincinnati Cyclones in 2008.  The hometown victory was especially sweet for Deitsch who scored five goals with 13 assists in 22 playoff games.
The Americans and Deitsch begin their quest for the CHL crown on Tuesday night in Allen.
