The Boston College commit for 2022 comes from Avon Old Farms School in Connecticut, where he had a goal and four assists in nine games in 2019-20.

Siedem is back at Avon this season but hasn’t played any games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was a third-round pick of the Central Illinois Flying Aces in the 2018 US Hockey League Futures Draft.

The Chilliwack Chiefs made a call out for former players on Thursday as the team announced that a revamped alumni program is in the works.

The new Chiefs alumni organization is run by a committee of former players including Matt Gibbons, Nolan Julseth-White, Adam Powell, Greg Keith, and Brian Maloney.

Current Chiefs vice-president of business operations and governor Barry Douglas is also on the committee. Details are available here.

Morehouse has eight goals and eight assists in 11 games for his hometown Penguins Elite 18U as their captain this season. He’s also played two games with the Omaha Lancers in the USHL.

The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native was selected by Omaha in the 2019 USHL Futures Draft and was also picked by the Jersey Hitmen in the 2020 National Collegiate Development Conference Entry Draft.

He is set to attend Dartmouth in the fall of 2022.
