Lethbridge Hurricanes News Release


LETHBRIDGE, AB - The Lethbridge Hurricanes Hockey Club announced that 2004-born defenceman Logan McCutcheon has committed to Quinnipiac University (NCAA) for the 2025-2026 season.

"It's a great hockey school, they love their hockey at [Quinnipiac] and it's a good program that won it a couple of years ago, so I think it's really exciting and I just want to go there, step up and establish myself, it's something that I'm really excited for," said McCutcheon. "It's going to be different; there is a lot of excitement and definitely some nerves, so it'll be a change, but I think I'll adjust well and have a good time."

McCutcheon, 21, recently ended his Western Hockey League career with the Hurricanes. The Saskatoon, SK, product was originally drafted by Lethbridge in the third-round (60th overall) in the 2019 WHL Prospects Draft. In his six years with the Hurricanes, McCutcheon appeared in 299 career regular season games amassing 147 points (23g-124a) along with 32 penalty minutes. He added 10 points (1g-9a) in 28 career playoff games over parts of four post-season appearances.

The 5'9, 162-pound defenceman registered 38 points (9g-29a) along with 10 penalty minutes and a plus-19 rating in his final season with the Hurricanes in 2024-2025. McCutcheon finished the season eighth in 'Canes scoring while finishing third in defencemen scoring behind Noah Chadwick and Caden Price. He ended the regular season sitting second in even-strength points by Hurricanes defencemen and his plus-19 rating was third among Hurricanes.

"Being a Hurricane meant everything to me," added McCutcheon. "Ever since the draft, I was welcomed by everyone here and to be able to be a Hurricane for my entire career, I couldn't have asked for it any other way. It's been unbelievable."

McCutcheon set career-highs in goals (9), points (38), penalty minutes (10) and plus/minus (+19) during the 2024-2025 season. He added seven points (1g-6a) along with a plus-6 rating in 16 playoff games helping the Hurricanes to the Eastern Conference Championship Series. He ended his junior career sitting fifth all-time in Hurricanes history in games played (299) - including appearing in 295-consecutive games - while ranking second in games played among defenceman in team history. McCutcheon also ranks fifth all-time in defenceman scoring.

"A huge thank you to all of my teammates, staff, office staff, coaches and everyone in the organization," said McCutcheon.

"Especially a thank you to the fans - nothing would be possible without them and all the players appreciate everything that they do."

McCutcheon will join the Quinnipiac Bobcats Men's Hockey team for the 2025-2026 season.
