Defenseman Wyatt Head (14 goals, 68 assists in 146 games with West Kelowna and Coquitlam from 2017-20) has transferred from the University of Alaska-Anchorage to Mercyhurst University.
Mercyhurst has played six games and had four others postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 21-year-old from Kelowna, BC committed to UAA back in February, but last month the Seawolves opted out of the 2020-21 Western Collegiate Hockey Association season due to the pandemic.
In August, the school announced it was cutting men’s hockey and three other sports in 2021 due to budgetary reasons. A campaign is currently underway to raise funds to save the UAA men’s hockey program.
