Why Niagara?
"Growing up in Buffalo I watched Niagara start the hockey progam from nothing, and quickly achieve a great deal of success. When I realized that playing college hockey could become a reality, I knew that I wanted to be a part of building the tradition and success of Niagara Hockey that I watched as a kid."
