History
Lapoint was named 2006 Wisconsin High School Player of the Year by the Wisconsin Hockey Coaches Association. The lanky defenseman led Eau Claire North to the 2006 state tournament and was an all-state first team selection for the second consecutive season.
2006-07: Named to the RBK First-Team All-USHL and All-Rookie team with the Green Bay Gamblers.

April 2007 Q&A with Lapoint.
Talent Analysis
Lapoint hasn’t yet filled into his big frame. Has good puck-moving ability, and offensive instincts. Hands are not as quick as his head; thinks game faster than he can keep up.
Future
Lapoint enters his sophomore season with the North Dakota Fighting Sioux in the fall.
