The Merritt Centennials are pleased to announce the commitment of 21 year old forward Lucas Daoust to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC for September 2010 where he will play hockey for the BCIHL?s WolfPack.
“I'm excited that Lucas will get the opportunity to continue his hockey career and play in front of family and friends while pursuing a quality education,? said Cents coach/GM Luke Pierce. ?Lucas was a pleasure to work with, and TRU is extremely fortunate to have a player of his character. Lucas has known his career ambition for some time and I'm very happy that this will give him the opportunity to pursue that. We wish him all the best, and thank him for his contributions here in Merritt.”
?Lucas brings a strong, day-in-day-out work ethic to our program,? said TRU coach Lorne Cumming. ?Our WolfPack culture is to push each other from within and Lucas brings that to our group. He can fill any role he is asked to fill and we look forward to having that added to our forward group.?
?I?m really excited,? said Daoust. ?The opportunity to go to school and play hockey at home for the first time in four years is very exciting.?
