Press Release
The Johnstown Tomahawks of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are proud to announce that Chris Truehl has
become the second Tomahawks player to make an NCAA Division I
commitment. Truehl, a 6-3, 185-pound goaltender from Stoughton,
Wisconsin, has committed to the U.S. Air Force Academy for the 2013-14
season.
In early November, Truehl visited the Academy in Colorado Springs,
where he was offered a full scholarship. He plans to major in business
management and attend graduate school to pursue his Master of Business
Administration.
“Air Force has an unbelievable campus, and the possibilities that go
along with an education at the Academy are second to none,” said Truehl.
“The players seem to be great guys, and I will hopefully be able to
compete for playing time right away.”
Truehl has gone 3-2-4 with a GAA of 2.55 and save percentage of .916
in his 10 games this season with the Tomahawks. His impressive academic
record, outgoing nature, and dedication to hockey have made him a
well-rounded athlete.
“I was incredibly impressed with my trip,” he said. “The coaches made
it clear that my academics and my future are just as important a my
college hockey career.”
The Air Force Academy is a member of the Atlantic Hockey Association
(AHA) and is coached by Frank Serratore. Their roster features more
NAHL graduates than any other NCAA Division I program.
