Here’s to Captain Kovacs
Sault Ste. Marie native Bronson Kovacs has been named one of three senior captains for the Hobart College Statesmen of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference for the upcoming season.
Kovacs, a hard-hitting, puck-moving defenceman who played with the Soo Thunderbirds of the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League before going to Hobart, had 6 goals, 8 assists, 14 points in 24 games with the Statesmen in 2013-2014.
Known for his character and team-first attitude as much as his hockey-playing ability, the 24-year old Kovacs is the son of Toots and Diana Kovacs of the Soo.
No slouch in the classroom either, Kovacs was named to the ECAC’s All-Academic Team for the 2013-2014 term.
Hobart begins the 2014-2015 ECAC hockey season on Friday, October 31.
Great Kid, Had the pleasure of having Bronson in Huntsville as a 20 year old for the Dudley Hewitt Cup.
