Colorado Grit Netminder Jack Erickson makes Division 1 Commitment

The Colorado Grit of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are proud to announce that goaltender Jack Erickson has committed to play NCAA Division I hockey next semester for Bentley University. Bentley located in Waltham, Mass is a member of Atlantic Hockey.

The 6’1″ netminder was having an exceptional season for the Grit posting a 2.59 gaa and .918 saves percentage. He has had multiple league player of the week nominations as well as Grit player of the month in both November and December. Erickson from White Bear Lake, MN was in his second season in the NAHL.

“I’m so thankful for the opportunities and experiences I got playing for the Grit” said Erickson. “I couldn’t have gotten this chance to move on and play Division 1 hockey without the support and encouragement of all the players and staff. I’m very excited to achieve a dream of playing Division 1 hockey at Bentley University and cant thank everyone enough at the Grit organization for helping me achieve it.
Thank you to the staff at Bentley University for giving me this opportunity and believing in me. I couldn’t be more happy to join the community and team.”

Grit Head Coach Kevin Holmstrom had this to say on Erickson’s D1 commitment “Jack has played at very high level for us this season and given us a opportunity to win each night, he has truly earned this. He is so respected with all his teammates and our staff this is very exciting. I could not be happier for Jack, his family and the opportunity he will have at Bentley.”
