Urbandale (IA) The Des Moines Buccaneers are proud to announce that veteran forward Joe Gambardella has committed to the University of Massachusetts at Lowell for the 2013-2014 season.
Gambardella,
19, is in his second season with the Buccaneers after joining the team
midway through the 2011-2012 campaign. In his second season, Gambardella
has developed into an off-ice leader as he was named one of the team
captains and is also an on-ice presence with a team high 12 goals and 25
points.
Gambardella has netted two hat tricks, and the Buccaneers are 7-1 when he scores a goal this season.
The
Staten Island, NY native is a true success story having risen from a
third line player at the end of last season to becoming a top line
center this season. He also survived June’s tryout camp with a new
coaching staff that didn’t automatically bring back eligible returners.
Through it all, Gambardella has shown marked improvement while becoming a
fan favorite.
