Wizards Second-Year Captain Set to Join New Program this Fall

BEDFORD, MA -- Ryan Koshiol, a defenseman for the East Coast Wizards, has committed to Keene State College for the fall of 2024.

The '03 native of Chandler, AZ is in his second season with the Wizards, and first year serving as one of the team's captains. Overall, in 85 career games in the Eastern Hockey League (EHL), Koshiol has tallied 40 points to his credit on seven goals and 33 assists.

"We are thrilled about Ryan’s commitment to Keene State," said Wizards head coach and general manager Kory Falite. "He has grown so much over the two years he’s been a Wizard, both on and off the ice. He’s been the backbone to our D core for the past two years, and we’re excited to see his game continue to grow at the next level."

Koshiol will now join a new program this fall, as Keene State will be kicking off their inaugural season at the NCAA Division III level. To date so far, Koshiol is one of seven EHL players that have committed to the Owls, as he will team up with Brody Davidson and Owen Davidson from the Bridgwater Bandits, Jared Martin and Shane Mazur from the Connecticut Chiefs, Luke Festa from the Connecticut RoughRiders, and Chase Carney from the Railers Jr. Hockey Club when he arrives on campus.

"I'm super excited to be committed to studying and playing hockey at Keene State this fall," said Koshiol. "I owe a huge thank you to Coach [Bobby] Rodrigue for giving me this opportunity. Thank you to my parents and family for all the support over the years. I also want to thank the coaching staff and teammates here at the Wizards for everything they’ve done for me the past two years. I'm excited for next season and can’t wait to get things started in the fall."

Koshiol is also part of a strong core of players in the EHL whose roots take them back to Arizona, a state that is growing into a 'hockey hotbed'. The EHL is set to head out to Arizona, and in particular, Koshiol's hometown of Chandler this May. Space is still available for the EHL's first-ever combine in Arizona, so be sure to sign up today, and become the next Ryan Koshiol.
