Playing career

Amateur

After graduating from junior hockey in Ontario, Madeley joined the Lake Superior State Lakers of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA), a Division I program of the United States' National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). He shared the net with Brandon Reed and Brian Lukowski as a freshman in the 1989–90 season.[2] In 30 games with the Lakers, Madeley put together a 21–7–1 record with a 2.42 goals against average (GAA), a save percentage of .915, and a shutout.[3] Lake Superior finished second and Madeley led all goaltenders in GAA during the regular season.[4] Lake Superior advanced to the CCHA championship game against Michigan State.[5] Michigan State edged out Lake Superior by a score of 4–3 to take the championship.[6] He was named to the All-CCHA Second All-Star Team and the All-CCHA Rookie Team at the end of the season.[7][8]

In 1990–91, Madeley, in his sophomore season, was once again splitting time in the net with Reed and Lukowski.[9] He improved his record to 29–3–3 in 36 games, with a 2.61 GAA and a shutout, setting a new record for most victories in a season by a goaltender for the school.[3][10] He was named to the All-CCHA First All-Star Team at season's end.[11] The team advanced to the championship final for the second consecutive season, facing the University of Michigan. Lake Superior won its first championship in a 2–1 overtime victory.[12] By winning the CCHA, the team automatically qualified for the NCAA tournament, getting a bye to the quarterfinals.[10] They faced Clarkson University, who as underdogs in their best-of-three series, upset the Lakers.[13] He was named a West First-Team All-American in March 1991.[14]

In his final year with the team in 1991–92, Madeley had a 23–6–4 record in 36 games, with a 1.93 GAA, a .917 save percentage, and two shutouts.[3] He was once again named to the All-CCHA First All-Star Team and was named the association's best goaltender.[15][16] He was also named as one of the finalists for the Hobey Baker Award as the NCAA's top player.[17] The Lakers finished second in the CCHA and advanced to the championship game for the third consecutive season and faced the University of Michigan in a rematch of the previous year. Once again, the Lakers prevailed in a 3–1 victory.[18] However, they faced the University of Alaska Anchorage in a one-game elimination game in the NCAA tournament. The winner would move on to the quarterfinals.[19] The Lakers defeated Alaska-Anchorage 7–4.[20] They advanced to the final against the University of Wisconsin–Madison and beat them 5–3 to win the school's second NCAA championship.[21] Madeley was named to the All-Tournament Team alongside teammates Mark Astley and Brian Rolston.[22] For the second year, he was named a West First-Team All-American.[23]
