Motor City's Torf readies for Air Force

Press Release

The Motor City Metal Jackets have announced that goaltender Jason Torf has committed to the Air Force Academy (Atlantic Hockey) for the 2010-11 season.

This past year, Torf, a 19-year-old from Hermosa Beach, Calif., posted a 9-10-2 record in 24 regular-season appearances to compliment a 2.85 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.

“We’re extremely proud of Jason’s intent to attend Air Force,” said Metal Jackets head coach David Cole. “He’s worked extremely hard and was a key addition to our organization.”

The third player from the Metal Jackets’ 2009-10 team to decide on a Division I school, Torf is the 14th player to compete in the NAHL this past season to hold a commitment to Air Force.

“We believe Jason is going to a great program with a wonderful coach (Frank Serratore) and staff,” Cole added.
