“We are very happy for Nick today,” Bandits head coach and general manager Ryan Papaioannou said in a press release. “He’s developed tremendously as a hockey player and has continued to be a great person since joining us 3 years ago.
“This opportunity is what he set out to create for himself and through his efforts it’s come to fruition.”
Per NCAA rules, the Robert Morris coaching staff is not permitted to discuss potential commits until they have signed a National Letter of Intent.
