Another Steinbach Piston will be continuing his hockey career at the collegiate level.
Parker Jasper, the team’s deadline acquisition from 2023, announced he had committed to Minneapolis’ Augsburg University. The Auggies are a division three NCAA program.
The Regina-born defenseman played a combined 84 games in the MJHL, notching 39 regular season points and 12 post-season points.
Jasper helped the team to a Turnbull Cup championship in 2023, after joining Steinbach from the El Paso Rhinos of the North American Hockey League.
Before heading South, Jasper spent parts of three seasons with the Yorkton Terriers.
The Augsburg University Auggies play in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC).
A week later Alex Walicki, who the Niverville Nightahawks traded for at the 2024 roster deadline, shared he was also heading to the NCAA division three. He’ll be suiting up for the Wentworth Institute of Technology Leopards.
Walicki, a Calgary-born forward, played 100 games in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, split between Niverville and Swan Valley. He had 82 points across two seasons.
Wentworth are based in Boston, Mass.
