Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings News Release
Kalamazoo, MI- The Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings, members of the North American Hockey League's North Division, proudly announce the verbal commitment of former Jr. K-Wing Chad McDonald to Ferris State University.
McDonald played in twelve games with Kalamazoo this season, all the while leading the team in scoring. He tallied ten goals and five assists for fifteen points, while playing to a plus-3 rating. His two short-handed goals still stand as the only two Kalamazoo has netted on the season.
McDonald's most memorable performance with the Jr. K-Wings was his five-goal, six-point outburst against the Dawson Creek Rage during the NAHL Showcase in Blaine, Minnesota back on September 16th. The five-goal outing included three power-play goals and a short-handed strike.
The Battle Creek, Michigan native was traded from Kalamazoo to the Des Moines Buccaneers of the USHL on October 27th, a trade that saw the addition of forward Austin Hervey for the Jr.
K-Wings. Since joining Des Moines in late October, McDonald has produced one goal and has played to a +4 rating.
In congratulating McDonald on behalf of the organization, Head Coach Marc Fakler said: "The goal of our program is to promote players to the next level. Chad had a very strong start to the season, which earned him a tremendous opportunity to play college hockey at a strong program in Ferris State."
The Jr. K-Wings will return to the Borgess Health Rink at Wings West again on Sunday, November 13th against the Jamestown Ironmen.
