As the NCAA hockey tournament continues to heat up, we take some time to recognize a pair of Merritt Centennials alumni who have received honors for their play.

In a recent NCAA roundup, the league has announced the players who have made the All Conference teams. Of which, were Clarkson University’s Mathieu Gosselin and Quinnipac University’s Zach Metsa.

Gosselin, now a junior for the Golden Knights, played two full seasons for the Cents from 2017-2019.

In his first year Gosselin would put up 33 points in 53 games. Gosselin showed an incredible ability to quickly adapt to BCHL level of play, almost doubling his total points to 60 for his second season.

Metsa played for the Centennials in the 2016-2017 season and had 27 points in 57 games.
As a senior for the Bobcats, Metsa led the nation in scoring defense, scoring 34 points and blocking 24 shots. His performance earned him All Conference as well as ECAC Defenceman of The Year.

Both players have earned a spot on the 1st Team All Conference in the ECAC division.
