The Merritt Centennials announced last week that 19-year-old rookie forward Nick Jermain has accepted a scholarship to attend Quinnipiac University beginning in September of 2017.
Jermain, a native of Norwalk, Connecticut currently sits fourth in Cents’ team scoring with 11 goals and eight assists for 19 points in 23 games.
“I’m very excited about the opportunity to play at Quinnipiac, and would not have been able to achieve the opportunity without the help of my family, teammates, billets and the Merritt Centennials organization,” Jermain stated in a press release issued by the club.
Jermain will join another current Merritt Centennial, Ryan Finnegan, at Quinnipiac in 2017.
The NCAA Division 1 school is located in Hamden, Connecticut. This year’s men’s hockey roster includes 14 BCHL grads. Other Centennials who have played for the Bobcats are goaltender Jamie Holden (2001-05), along with forwards Bryan Leitch (2005-09) and Brandon Wong (2006-10).
