The Alexandria Blizzard of the NA3HL are pleased to announce that forward Brandon Connett has committed to play NCAA Division III hockey for the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

Overall in 58 career NA3HL games, Connett has recorded 67 points.

 

“We as a Blizzard organization are very proud and excited for Brandon and his opportunity to pursue hockey and his education at UW-Stout,” said Blizzard head coach Jeff Crouse. “Brandon is a leader of our team on and off the ice and also in the community. He’s always smiling and enjoying himself and that translates to his success on the ice. We wish Brandon nothing but the best and look forward to seeing him grow and develop as he pursues his career.”
