Brady fit seamlessly into what we were doing and what we were trying to accomplish in Wausau. A great player, a great teammate and someone that the coaching staff could trust in all situations. He came to the rink every morning with a smile on his face, ready to go to work. He has earned this opportunity not only with his play on the ice but also his willingness to do what was asked of him, his compete level, positivity, and growth. The entire organization is excited to follow Brady at the next level, and we wish him the best of luck at New England College,” stated Head Coach Nathan Oystrick.
