Undrafted 4-year University Of Vermont Catamounts‘ left wing Ace Cowans(23) signs a 1st pro contract for 2021/2022, and leaves for Kalix HC of Sweden’s quickly growing tier 3 league, Hockeyettan.
The 5’8″ 170 lbs. forward had an interesting climb, committing to college from Groton School, where he was producing 2 points-per-game to maybe a bit of an oddball year, skating with Islanders Hockey Club of USPHL Premiere league before hooking up and having a decent showing (5 goals, 7 assists in 27 USHL games) with Waterloo Blackhawks ahead of going to school.
At 24-years old, he should be able to make a good impression overseas.
The Beverly, MA native detonates the score sheet with 17 goals and 28 assists in 44 games with a +20 rating and signs for 2022/2023 with rivals Mariestad BoIS.
