The Wolverines have received a commitment from Blooming Thunder captain Jake Slaker. In his second season in Bloomington the 5'10" center recorded a 21-21--42 scoring line through 57 games and helped the Thunder move on to the USHL's Eastern Conference final recording a 5-7--12 line in 10 games.
Proud to announce my commitment to play college hockey at the University of Michigan. Thanks to everyone that has helped me along the way 〽️
