”Playing Division I hockey has always been a goal of mine, and being able to move on to that level while also receiving an exceptional education at AIC is even better. I appreciate and am thankful to Coach Wright for giving me this great opportunity," said May.

 

"I wouldn’t have this opportunity if not for Coach Millen. He gave me a chance to be a part of the Wilderness and he dedicated himself to making me, along with every guy on the team, a better hockey player and person each day," continued May.
