Northern Michigan University has continued to pick up players from the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.
Oakbank’s Reece Gault, who plays for the Steinbach Pistons, was the latest player to join the NCAA division 1 program, announcing his commitment Oct. 22.
The 2007-born defenseman has been a strong presence for Steinbach on the back end, getting paired with 20-year-old and future Alaska-Fairbanks defenseman Noah Szabo for the majority of his ice time so far this season.
Gault has more than held his own, notching nine points in 13 games so far this season.
Lorette’s Avery Laliberte, Owen Warnick and teammate Brody Green have also committed to the Wildcats.
Northern Michigan’s head coach is a Manitoban, Dave Shyiak.
Gault played his minor hockey with the Eastman Selects program until the 2022/2023 season, when he moved to play at the Rink Hockey Academy in Winnipeg.
