Josh Gamble is taking the next step in his hockey career.
The Castlegar Rebels forward has committed to the University of Michigan-Flint Wolverines, who compete in the American Collegiate Hockey Association Division 1, for the coming season.
The Wilcox, Sask., native led the Rebels with 34 points in 44 games this season, marking the third consecutive year he has topped the team in scoring.
“We really like his offensive ability and believe that he will immediately fill a hole that we were lacking last season with his offensive touch,” Wolverines head coach Nicholas Karstens said. “He will be looked on right away to be an impact top-six forward and will help bolster our powerplay.”
Rebels head coach and assistant general manager Alex Evin said Gamble leaves a strong legacy with the club.
“We are proud of Josh as he continues on his athletic and academic journey. Gamble played over 140 games in a Rebels uniform and made a positive impact both on and off the ice,” Evin said.
Michigan-Flint posted an 11-24-0 record last season, finishing fifth in the seven-team Great Lakes Collegiate Hockey League.
