Muskegon's Storm picks St. Cloud State

The Muskegon Lumberjacks have announced that defenseman Ben Storm has decided to play his college hockey for the St. Cloud State Huskies of the newly-formed National Collegiate Hockey Conference that will begin in the 2013-14 season.

Storm was a fifth-round pick in the 2012 USHL Entry Draft by the Lumberjacks after spending the last two years playing for Calumet High School in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

The 6-foot-6 defenseman tallied 61 points (28 goals and 33 assists) in 53 games during his two years at the high school level.

“St. Cloud State showed the most interest in me and their coaches made me feel right at home,” said Storm. “I enjoyed visiting the campus and I am excited for the new additions they are making to their hockey facilities in the near future.”
