American International College Men's Hockey is stepping up their program,
it is time for us to step up our support. They have a new Coach in Eric Lang and
will be playing their home games at the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield, MA.
Their opening game is this Friday against Union College at the Mass Mutual
Center, a very good team who won a National Championship in 2014. Union's star
player that year was Shane Gostisbehere who played for the South Kent Prep's
Selects Academy Team prior to Union, and is now plying in the NHL.
The AIC Yellow Jackets are led by Cathedral High School grad, Senior AIC
Captain, Austin Orszulak, a
Springfield, native. He played Junior Hockey with the Springfield Pics
prior to AIC. I also have a special interest in AIC freshman forward, Billy
Vizzo, who I saw play for 2 years in the USPHL Premier Division, a real good
player.
AIC, the only Division I College Hockey Program in the Springfield
area, gives fans an opportunity to see some high level college hockey played
locally. Some of the home games at the Mass Mutual Center that I have
highlighted are the opening game against Union; 2 games vs. Holy Cross with
former Cathedral sensation sophomore, Peter Crinella; an up and coming Arizona
Sate Team; 2 games vs. my alma mater, RIT; and a game vs. Army, one of the toughest
teams I have seen on ice!
The game Friday, October 14 vs. Union College is at 7:05 PM at
the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield. Hope to see all of you there in support
of our local Division I Team !
