The Soo Eagles of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League announced Wednesday, May 21st another one of their players has committed to attended school and continue his on-ice career playing collegiately in the U.S.
Forward Benjamin Pouliot will attend Grand Valley State University, who are members of the Division I conference of the American Collegiate Hockey Association.
In two NOJHL seasons with the Eagles, the 20-year-old Pouliot, who hails from Howell, Mich, was over a point-per-game producer.
This recently completed campaign saw him collect 53 points in 42 outings, including notching a career single-season best 27 goals.
Back in 2023-24, he had 58 points in 56 contests on 24 tallies and 34 assists.
In all, Pouliot had 111 points in 98 league match-ups with 14 of his 51 career markers coming on the power play, while five came shorthanded. His 12 game-winning goals led his club over those two seasons.
His career point totals over the past two years tied him for seventh-most among all NOJHL skaters.
For his part, Pouliot stated: “Playing two seasons in the NOJHL with the Soo Eagles was an incredible experience. It helped me grow both as a player and a person. The staff; my billets and the quality of competition in the league were all great. I’m excited for the next chapter.”
Located in Allendale, Michigan, the Grand Valley State Lakers compete out of the ACHA’s D-I conference.
