JOHNSTOWN — HOCKEY

Tomahawks’ Nelson decides

Johnstown Tomahawks defenseman Casey Nelson has verbally committed to continue his career at Minnesota State University at Mankato. Nelson will join the NCAA Division I Mavericks for the 2013-2014 season.

“I committed to Mankato for so many reasons,” said Nelson, a native of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. “The coaches are great and the university itself is wonderful – I like everything both the school and the hockey program have to offer.”

The 6-2, 180-pound defenseman has played in all 54 games this season and has 22 assists and 32 points (10-22-32). He leads all Tomahawks defensemen in points and has consistently been among the top 10 defensive point leaders in the NAHL, currently tied at fifth place. He also leads all league defensemen in shots by a large margin with 189.
