Fargo Force News Release
The Fargo Force are excited to announce that they have signed right-handed forward Masun Fleece to a tender for the 23-24 season.
A native of southern California, Fleece has developed his hockey skills at prestigious Shattuck St. Mary's school in Faribault, MN the past 2 years. In the 21-22 season, he led the SSM 14U team in scoring with 45 goals and 61 assists for 106 points in just 51 games. This year as a 15-year-old, Masun "played up an age group" at the 16U level, and finished 5th on the team with 68 points on 29 goals and 39 assists in 53 games.
"We are extremely excited to have Masun sign with us," said Fargo general Manager, Cary Eades. "He is a player who we have monitored his development very closely in the past 12 months as our coaching and scouting staff has seen him play live and on video a number of times. His work ethic, speed and tenacity, as well as his reputation of being a great teammate sets him apart from others as we went through the tender process. Additionally, players coming out of Shattuck are extremely well prepared - on and off the ice - and have had tremendous success as they move up the hockey ladder".
"Our coaching staff, led by Head Coach Nick Oliver, have done an outstanding job of developing and mentoring young players in our organization this season. Our top rookie, Mac Swanson, has been in the top 20 in league scoring all season as a 16-year-old! Masun is a different style of player than Mac, however, we feel his maturity, skill set and determination will allow him to be a contributor to our team next season, even though he'll be one of, if not the youngest player on our team. We are excited to welcome Masun and the Fleece family to the Force hockey family".
