“Kyle had other options available, but he decided to come to our program to develop his game,” said BWC Hockey Academy Elite 15s head coach, Leland Mack. “He is an everyday guy, he worked to get better each day on the ice, in the weight room, in the classroom and he excelled at all three. With Kyle, I knew he would reach his hockey goals if he stuck to the plan and was himself. We are very proud of him and his opportunity at an Ivy League school.”
