Nic, already committed to Alaska Fairbanks, plays the game the right way and is driven to improve every day. Adding someone with his work ethic and leadership was an obvious choice for us. We expect Nic to play a significant role on our team next year, both on and off the ice.
“We are delighted to welcome a player of his caliber who exemplifies all the qualities of a leader.”
