Another Melfort Mustang has finalized plans to play post-secondary hockey next season.

Forward Seth McCulloch has committed to the Marian University Sabres based in Fon du Lac, Wisconsin in the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association in NCAA Division III.

McCulloch had a total of 96 points while playing his entire three-year Junior ‘A’ career with the Mustangs. In his final season this year, the Coutts, Alta. product scored 10 goals and added 13 assists for 23 points in 37 regular season games. He was also an assistant captain this season.

“I heard about Marian through some of the guys I played with my first year in Melfort, and have only heard good things about the school,” McCulloch said. “Once the coaches got a hold of me and we started to make a connection, all of those good things I had been hearing became more visible. The coaching staff is great, and I am so excited to get down to Wisconsin and further not only my hockey career, but my academics as well.”

During the 2020/2021 COVID-19 shortened season, McCulloch played in five games, tallying three assists for the Mustangs.
