Looking Forward

Ferris adds three for­wards to 2010–2011 recruit­ing class

The Bulldog hockey team added three signees to the 2010–2011 recruit­ing class.

Ferris inked three for­wards dur­ing November’s early sign­ing period, giv­ing the Bulldogs a quick start in the recruit­ing process. The Bulldogs focused on recruit­ing for­wards since sev­eral seniors at the posi­tion will be grad­u­at­ing this year.

One of the top signees is Andy Huff, a native of Howell, who is cur­rently play­ing for the Traverse City North Stars of the North American Hockey League (NAHL).

Huff was a high-profile recruit, hav­ing his name on the NHL’s watch­list for the 2010 entry draft. Huff is also tied for 12^th among the NAHL’s lead­ing point scor­ers and is the 11^th lead­ing scorer among for­wards in the league.

Joining Huff will be fel­low NAHL for­ward Justin DeMartino, who is cur­rently a mem­ber of the Springfield (Ill.) Jr. Blues. DeMartino comes to the Ferris pro­gram with a strong back­ground, as he posted a team-best tying 84 points while play­ing for the Detroit Little Caesars last sea­son. DeMartino was also part of the Little Caesars Midget Minor team that won the 2008 USA Hockey Under-16 National Championship.

Rounding out the recent signees is Cory Kane, who is play­ing for the Vernon (British Columbia) Vipers of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). Kane is cur­rently ranked at 27 on the BCHL’s scor­ing lead­ers chart for the 2009–2010 sea­son. Kane put up 54 over­all points along with 24 goals and 30 assist in the 2008–2009 season.
