"We have been extensively recruiting in the NCAA ranks throughout the season," said Prowlers assistant coach Chris Paulin. "We have a lot of respect for Coach Todd and the culture at Trine University."

"All four of these players are competitive guys that have great will to win and are hungry to play pro hockey and win a championship," Paulin said.
