Blue Ridge Bobcats News Release
The Blue Ridge Bobcats have announced the signing of two NCAA Division III defensemen, Christian Halbig and Declan House.
Halbig, a 5'9", 180-pound puck-moving defenseman, joins the Bobcats after a strong collegiate career at Fitchburg State University (NCAA Division III). During his senior season, Halbig had an exceptional year, recording 2 goals and 26 assists for 28 points in 26 games, averaging over a point per game from the blue line.
House, a 5'11", 180-pound defenseman, comes from Keene State College (NCAA Division III). Over four seasons, House recorded 35 points while establishing himself as a dependable and steady presence on the defensive side of the puck.
"Both players come highly recommended to us from playing in a great conference and strong programs," said Bobcats management. "Halbig will bring offensive skill from the back end, while House will help steady our defensive core."
Reminder: College prospects must appear in five games to be eligible for the playoffs.
