Press Release
Hampus Gustafsson’s excellent start to the 2012-2013
season for the Amarillo Bulls has quickly been noticed by NCAA hockey
scouts. Gustafsson, who has 17 points in his first 15 games with the
Bulls, announced his NCAA commitment today (Friday) to Merrimack
College, joining his brother John who is already at the school.
“I went to Merrimack for a visit and really liked the campus and the
hockey program,” Gustafsson said. “I’m looking forward to going there.”
Gustafsson’s hot start includes eight goals and nine assists and 39
shots on goal. He also has several multiple point games. Hampus
Gustafsson said to join his brother John at the school is an exciting
time for he and his family. “John and I haven’t played together for the
last five years. We have always talked about doing i again,” he said.
“My mom and dad will think it’s great because they will be able to go to
one place to see us.”
Bulls Head Coach Dennis Williams said he had a similar opportunity to
play with his own brother, and added that is thrilled for Hampus and
his opportunity. “Hampus is showing himself to be a very good
all-around player,” Williams commented. “He is very responsible inside
the defensive zone and moves well for a 6 foot 4 center. I think his
biggest quality is that he is a smart hockey player. His IQ is very good
and understands the game. Hampus makes changes in his own game when
need be.”
Williams said that Merrimack Head Coach Mark Dennehy and staff have
done a great job in watching the Bulls players, and for having a rapport
with the team’s coaching staff.
Hampus Gustafsson becomes the fifth Bulls player this season to
commit to play NCAA hockey. He joins TJ Sarcona (Niagara), Tyler
Rostenkowski (Air Force), Kyle Plageman (Army), and Joe Grabowski
(Princeton).
