Muskegon Lumberjacks News Release
MUSKEGON, Michigan - The Lumberjacks are proud to announce that Forward William Messa has committed to play for the Northeastern Huskies of the Hockey East Conference beginning in the 2013-14 season.
The Parkland, Florida native was drafted in the 17th round of the 2012 USHL Entry Draft by the team after spending the previous three seasons playing for Lawrence Academy in Massachusetts. Messa tallied 62 points (19 goals and 43 assists) in his three seasons at Lawrence Academy.
"Northeastern offers the best academics to help suit my needs, and their gritty hockey style is what I enjoy playing the most," said Messa.

It will also be an honor to participate in the annual Beanpot Tournament with Harvard, Boston College, and Boston University."
This season is Messa's first season in the USHL as he laces up the skates as a member of the Muskegon Lumberjacks.
