Ian Spencer commits to the University of Vermont
Ian Spencer of the Avalanche Bantam Major team has committed to play hockey for
the University of Vermont in 2012. "I learned to skate at the Ice House and I've
played hockey with the Avalanche for the last 8 years so I credit much of my development
as a player to the Avalanche Coaches" Ian said. "I can never thank them enough for
all they have taught me. But it is Coach May that I would like to especially thank.
Coach May has been my Coach since I was a Mite and he has made me the hockey player
that I am today and instilled in me how important it is to be a great individual
on and off the ice. I hope I have made him proud that he has been my coach."
Ian fell in love with the school the moment he stepped on campus. The campus is
situated on Lake Champlain and surrounded by mountains. Ian will continue to play
for the Avalanche next season in preparation for his Catamount career. The organization
is happy to see Ian realize his dream of playing Division I college hockey. |
