Orangeville's Tyson to attend Lindenwood

The Orangeville's Americans are pleased to announce that veteran Christian Tyson will be attending Lindenwood-Belleville University and competing on their ACHA hockey club. Tyson has been a cornerstone of the American's club for the past three years. He is known league-wide as an elite offensive defenseman.

Christian hails from California, USA standing 5'8".

"He was one of our best players for three years straight," said Head Coach Tyler Fines, "He deserves the opportunity to go to school, he will do well with their hockey club. He hasn't taken a day off in three years to get there."

Tyson is the American's all-time point and goal leader, despite being a defenseman, with 173 points (67g, 106a) in only 119 games.

In his final junior year, Christian put up a career high 77 points (26g, 51a) in 36 games.

Lindenwood-Belleville University has been a great supporter of the Orangeville Americans and GMHL this season.

Christian Tyson (Orangeville Americans, 2013-14)
Derek Van Ness (Alliston Coyotes, 2013-14)
Daniel Hussey (Orangeville Americans, 2013-14)
