East Coast Wizards forward Tyler Sitnikov has announced his commitment to play college hockey at Division III Rivier University in Nashua, New Hampshire.

“I want to thank my family, friends, and coaches for helping me along this journey,” Sitnikov said. “I am grateful for the opportunity of playing college hockey at the Division III level. It’s been a long journey but I’m excited for what’s to come.”

Sitnikov spent last season with the Wizards and tallied ten goals and six assists over 45 games. Prior to joining East Coast, the Salem, Massachusetts native played two years with the New Hampshire Avalanche at the EHL Premier level.

“We couldn’t be more happy for Tyler. He was one of the most competitive players in the league this year,” Wizards head coach Kory Falite said. Between that, his skating ability, and his overall work ethic, he’s going to make a great college hockey player and we’re looking forward to seeing him at the next level.”
