Brian Ratkowski Commits to Minot University

Orangeville veteran defenceman Brian Ratkowski has accepted an offer to play with the Minot State Beavers. The Colorado native took the offer early last week.

Ratkowski has been a staple on Orangeville's blueline since the club formed in 2011. Brian is a big 6'2" stay at home defenceman that prides himself on his physical play.

Brian logged a lot of important minutes on Orangeville's semi-final playoff run this past Russell Cup.

Orangeville already had two other college commitments earlier this off-season with centre Ryan McNulty (UMBC, 2013) and goaltender Devin Nyers (Holy Cross College, 2013). Orangeville's GM and Head Coach Tyler Fines says there will be more commitments announced shortly.

 

The Americans organization is very pleased with the development of Brian throughout the past two seasons. He has trained very hard to be able to tend school and continue hockey. Best of luck Brian!
