The Soo Eagles are a junior “A” hockey team located in Sault Ste. Marie. Although the Eagles are in the Eastern Upper Peninsula, it’s players have gone on to play college hockey all over the state.

Denver Pierce played on the west side of the U.P. at Northern Michigan. Chase Gamelin stayed in the Sault competing for Lake Superior State. Jared VanWormer traveled down state joining Ferris State. Goalie Chad Catt earned a scholarship from Michigan. Chase Matson went to Adrian College after completing his Eagles career.
Points Eagles

Gamelin, Matson and Pierce all had similar careers point wise as an Eagle while Jared VanWormer produced 143 points. Chad Catt still managed to get his name on the scoresheet as a goalie assisting on one goal.

Timeline

Above is a timeline featuring the duration of those five players during their junior “A” hockey careers. Most players had a three-year career in the NAHL, but Matson only played two seasons.

Who is the best player in Eagles history? VanWormer scored the goals, Pierce and Gamelin brought the physicality, Matson skated with speed and Catt was a brick-wall in the net.

Introducing Andy

I’m Andrew Glezen, but I go by Andy. I’m a senior at Central Michigan University with an interest in writing. My major is integrated public relations and my minor is journalism. I’m hoping to work for a public relations agency or corporation in the future. I like public relations more than journalism because I like telling positive sides of the story. I like helping people rather than exposing people or bringing someone down.

This blog is for my Journalism 340 class taught by Professor Brost. It is a class about digital journalism, which may be the main form of journalism today. I think that digital journalism is fascinating because we all have a mini newspaper in our hands. Our phone is such a great resource for news information. It seems like I’m getting news from Twitter or other forms of social media.
