TEWKSBURY, MA -- Steve Wesley, a forward for the Boston Jr. Rangers, has committed to Franklin Pierce University for the fall of 2020.
"We are very happy for Steven and his commitment to Franklin Pierce," said Rangers head coach and general manager Rich DeCaprio. "He’s been a staple in our program the last few years, and is a true competitor and is the definition of what a teammate should be. He will have a great 4-year collegiate hockey career!"
Wesley's tenure with the Rangers began at the Eastern Hockey League Premier (EHLP) level, back in the 2017-18 season, when he helped lead his team to a championship. Since then, Wesley has played in nearly 90 game in the EHL, developing his game to the point that he is ready to take it to the next level.
"The Rangers and the EHL both helped me develop from high school to juniors, and now I am ready to play at the collegiate level," said Wesley. "This league and organization is second to none when it comes to promoting players onto college hockey."
Wesley and the Rangers recently wrapped-up the regular season with a 4-3 overtime victory against the Walpole Express on Wednesday. With the win, the Rangers go in the books with one of the best regular season records in league history at 39-5-2. Now the team gets a chance to rest with a First Round bye, as they await their Second Round opponent in the EHL Playoffs.
