2009-06-15
The University Of Southern Maine’s hockey ' future just got brighter!
Jason Olson, the Rutland, VT native and AJHL all-star standout, gave the ECAC East team his verbal commitment last week.
"I'm very excited, to be honest," said Olson, the slick-skating Defenseman who ran the Leafs power play last season. "USM seams like such a great fit for me. I'm honored to get the opportunity to go there and play for coach Jeff Beaney."
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Olson joins what's been one of the most successful programs in the ECAC East over the last 10 years.
"USM has everything you look for in a college," said Jason. "It isn't too far from home, the city of Portland is right there, the academics are very strong, and they have great rink right on campus."
