Surrey, BC - The Surrey Eagles Hockey Club is pleased to announce that
forward Michael Stenerson has committed to attend the University of
Vermont, beginning in the 2013-2014 season.
The Surrey native had a strong season offensively, posting 19 goals and
35 assists in 55 games. Stenerson continued his excellent play
throughout the BCHL Playoffs as he led the league in scoring with eight
goals and 12 assists in 17 games.
"We're extremely excited for Michael to be going to a Hockey East
school," said Eagles Head Coach and GM Matt Erhart. "He has really
elevated his game in the second half of the season, and he was an
integral part of our team's Fred Page Cup win."
The University of Vermont is located in the city of Burlington. The
Catamounts play in the NCAA's Division I Hockey East
Association. Stenerson will head to Vermont after previously
decommitting from the University of Alaska Anchorage.
"Having a second opportunity at this is exciting for me and my family,
and I'm really looking forward to going to Vermont," said Stenerson.
"It's in Hockey East, and I was looking for a school in that conference.
Going there with Michael Santaguida next year, and Drew Best the year
after, will be pretty exciting."
Stenerson becomes the 10th member of the Eagles to commit to an NCAA
school, joining Devon Toews (Quinnipiac, 2013), Michael Santaguida
(Vermont, 2013), Craig Wyszomirski (Merrimack, 2013), Adam Tambellini
(North Dakota, 2013), Dan O'Keefe (Yale, 2013), Brett Mulcahy (Holy
Cross, 2014), Drew Best (Vermont, 2014), Demico Hannoun (Michigan Tech,
2014) and Jordan Klimek (Northern Michigan, 2014).
The Eagles would like to congratulate Stenerson on his accomplishment.
