Junior Comet Brendan Vettraino Commits to Lawrence University

"Obviously it’s always been a dream of mine to play college hockey," Vettraino said. "So it’s really cool to see all the hard work finally pay off and finally be able to say I’m going to be playing college hockey in the fall. Lawrence is one of the best academic schools in all of Wisconsin and finding a school that not only was good for my hockey, but good for academics was really important to me. They are also bringing in a small freshman class and said they think I could make an impact on the ice right away."

"For me, the biggest thing I’ve learned playing here is the importance of team culture," Vettraino continued. "Being a good teammate and person is just as important as what you do on the ice and that’s something I think Coach Lynch really tried to emphasize this year. I’d also just like to thank my coaches, teammates, the Utica Comets organization, and especially my parents for supporting and helping me get to this point, I couldn’t have done it without any of them."
