JOHNSTOWN, Penn. The Johnstown Tomahawks are pleased to announce the commitment of forward Christian Gorscak to Niagara University's Division I hockey program. The Jeannette, Pennsylvania native is in his 3rd season with the Tomahawks.
Through 10 games this season, Gorscak has earned 11 points off 2 goals and 9 assists. He's the current team leader in assists and tied for 3rd most across the entire North American Hockey League.
"It is so great to see Christian rewarded with his commitment to Niagara University. He is a first class human being and his play on the ice has spoken for itself," said Tomahawks head coach Mike Letizia.
"When we tendered Christian as a young rookie from the Esmark Stars U16 program, we knew he was a talented player, but it was remarkable to see his maturity at a young age. He has improved his game in various ways each season while maintaining his infectious positive attitude and team first mentality.
I am extremely happy for him and his family because he truly deserves this. Niagara University is not just getting a great hockey player, but more importantly, an incredible person."
Since 2000, the Niagara University Purple Eagles have four NCAA tournament appearances, and have clinched 4 Conference Regular Season Championships and 3 Conference Tournament Championships.
Gorscak's commitment begins with the 2021-22 collegiate season, affording him the opportunity to remain with the Tomahawks through this year and the 2020-21 season.
Christian Gorscak and the Tomahawks return to home action with a three game series October 25-27. The home stand will feature a slew of promotions, including a commemorative bobblehead giveaway of Johnstown Jets legend Reg Kent, Trick or Treat at the Rink, and Sundies Undies Toss. Tickets are available in-person at the 1ST SUMMIT ARENA Box Office and online at www.1stSummitArena.com/go/Tomahawks.
