Soo Eagles to Morrisville State
High-scoring forward Roman Gaudet has parlayed parts of two seasons with the Soo Eagles of the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League into a Division 3, National Collegiate Athletic Association commitment.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Michigander is headed to New York to play for the Morrisville State Mustangs.
Gaudet, who has a 1996 birth date, put up big point numbers during 56 NOJHL games with the Eagles over parts of the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 campaigns.
Regular season and playoffs included, Gaudet scored 34 goals, 42 assists, 76 points in the 56 appearances with the Eagles.
Eagles general manager/associate coach Bruno Bragagnolo said Gaudet has the ability to excel at the college level.
“There is no question about Roman’s ability as a hockey player,” Bragagnolo told HockeyNewsNorth.com. “This is a great opportunity for him to continue to play hockey and to get an education at the same time.”

Division 3 though and already an American
This is real feel good story! Roman had to work real hard for this. It’s not about his hockey ability because I believe he is a D1 player. I am rooting for him to make this work.
Best of Luck to you Roman in your Schooling and your Hockey Playing.
Hockeyguru: What is your point??????????!!!!!!!!!!
Best of luck to Roman. He is a fun to watch player. Also to former Sault High Blue Devil Hunter Krause at Finlania D-3 next year. Also to Bobby Price who is leaving the Blue Devils his senior year for the NAHL at Brookings. Were these two players ever on the Eagle radar ? May have missed the boat on them in our own backyard. Do the Eagles have a scout ?
