Alberni's Rogic commits to NCAA Div. I RPI for 2010/11 season

Press Release

The British Columbia Hockey League's Alberni Valley Bulldogs are excited to announce that forward Johnny Rogic has committed to attend the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and suit up for the NCAA Division I Engineers for the 2010/11 season.

The six-foot, 185 pound forward had a breakout season for the Bulldogs during the 2009/10 season, scoring 18 times and totalling 47 points in the regular season. He was also a key to the team's postseason run with six goals in 13 games. He leaves the BCHL with 22 goals and 58 points in 100 career games.

"Johnny is a committed person off the ice and on the ice," Bulldogs GM/Head Coach Esdale notes. "He had an excellent season and really proved to be an important ingredient in our recipe for success last year. He is very deserving of this opportunity and I know that he will continue to build off his success’s that he had last season."

Rogic joins Penticton's Luke Curadi and Bo Dolan as RPI recruits who played in the league during the 2009/10 campaign. The trio will join a number of BCHL grads with the Engineers.

The entire Bulldogs organization wishes Johnny all the best as he moves on to NCAA Division I hockey and thanks him for his dedication to the program over the past two years.
