MUSKEGON, Michigan (December 7th)
– The Muskegon Lumberjacks are proud to announce that affiliate Forward
Connor Hurley (Eagan, Minnesota) has committed to play his college
hockey for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish out of the Hockey East
Conference beginning in the 2014-15 season.
Hurley was the third overall pick in
the 2012 USHL Entry Draft by the Lumberjacks and is currently a junior
in high school playing for Edina High School in Minnesota. Hurley has
played in two games this season with the Lumberjacks totaling three
assists in a weekend home-and-home series against the Chicago Steel back

“Academics are very important to my
family and I, and Notre Dame does not fall short in that category,” said
Hurley. “The coaching staff made me feel right at home and were very
professional. The new hockey facilities were a nice addition, including
the new top of the line ice rink.”
This season, Hurley has 15 points (8
goals and 7 assists) in 6 games played and also spent last season with
Edina totaling 58 points (26 goals and 32 assists) in 30 games. Prior to

Minnesota, where he totaled 59 points (20 goals and 39 assists) in 58
games.
Connor is the younger brother of Lumberjacks Forward Cullen Hurley, who is in his first full season with the Lumberjacks and has seven points (four goals and three assists) in 21 games played.
