Adair has certainly improved over the course of two seasons and is now going to go on to a strong program where he’ll continue to develop his skills and get an incredible education.”

After receiving offers from several highly regarded NCAA programs, Adair is excited to continue his post-BCHL hockey career with the Northern Michigan Wildcats for a number of reasons. “The Wildcats hockey program’s coaching staff is established and is well respected. The program has a strong history and is in a strong conference within the NCAA. The team has a great track record with BCHL players and the school has a strong computer science faculty.”

Cohen will be pursuing his passion for computer programming with a degree in Computer Science with a goal of working for a gaming company in the future.
