Mohler Commits to Bowling Green

Press Release

The Tri-City Storm announced that forward Brett Mohler has committed to Bowling Green State University and will attend the school beginning in the fall of 2010.

"I felt that Bowling Green was a good fit for me as a student-athlete," said Mohler. "Their hockey facility was top of the line and the atmosphere was excellent. I like the coaching staff at Bowling Green and felt they were honest with me in the recruiting process. I'm excited to be a member of the Bowling Green family next season."

Mohler has scored 31 points (10g, 31a), ranking tied for second in team scoring, while playing in all 43 games this season for the Storm. He leads the club with two shorthanded goals. The 20-year-old native of Yorba Linda, California is playing in his first USHL season and is currently riding a four-game point streak (1g, 4a). He began his USHL career by dishing out an assist in each of his first three games this season.

"We are proud of Brett and the way he has played this season for the Storm," said Head Coach/General Manager Drew Schoneck. "We know he has a bright future ahead of him at Bowling Green, and we look forward to his continued development this season with the Storm."

Mohler joins current teammate Michael Montrose who is also committed to play for the Bowling Green Falcons.

Bowling Green State University is a member of the CCHA and has nine former USHL players on the roster for the 2009-10 season; Kyle Page (Indiana Ice), David Solway (Sioux Falls Stampede), James Perkin (Lincoln Stars), Ian Ruel (Omaha Lancers), Marc Rodriguez (Sioux Falls Stampede), Andrew Krelove (Des Moines Buccaneers), Jordan Samuels-Thomas (Waterloo Black Hawks), Max Grover (Sioux Falls Stampede), and Robert Shea (Green Bay Gamblers).

"(With the commitment to Bowling Green)… it takes a lot of pressure off of me and allows me to focus on the Storm rather than my plans for next year," Mohler said. "I'm thrilled to do what it takes to help Tri-City get back into the playoffs and compete for the Clark Cup."
