Lemanski makes NCAA Division III commitment to St. Norbert College
(Wausau, WI) – The Wausau Cyclones are proud to announce that goalie Collin Lemanski has committed to play Division 3 (NCAA) college hockey at St. Norbert College. Lemanski, a native of Midland, Michigan played in 32 games this past season where he earned a 22-8-1-1 record. He had a 2.32 GAA and .934 save percentage and earned Central Division Star of the Week (October 2-8) and (November 6-13). Collin helped lead Wausau to their first regular season Central Division title in team history and finished 3rd in wins and 5th in save percentage in the NA3HL. Lemanski was also named a NA3HL Top Prospect this season.
“We are extremely proud of Collin and could not be more excited for him to have earned this opportunity. We acquired Collin at last year’s NA3HL trade deadline and since then he has been, in our opinion, the best goalie in our league. More importantly Collin has been a tremendous teammate, a leader on and off the ice and a fantastic role model in our community. He has been given this phenomenal opportunity because of the hard work and dedication he has shown throughout his junior hockey career. It was an absolute pleasure to have Collin in Wausau and we cannot wait to watch him continue his career at the next level, ” stated Head Coach Nathan Oystrick.
