Former University of Alaska-Fairbanks defenseman Xavier Jean-Louis has transferred to Ferris State, he announced via social media this past week. 

A product of Miami, Fla., Jean-Louis spent this past season with the Nanooks, scoring two goals and adding two assists for four points in 26 games. Over the course of his two-year NCAA career, Jean-Louis has seven points in 39 games.

Prior to joining the NCAA, Jean-Louis played junior hockey in the CCHL (Carleton Place Canadians) and NAHL (Austin Bruins). 

With Jean-Louis heading to Ferris State, the Bulldogs will be getting a towering defender who knows how to use his size and reach to his advantage. While he is not known for his offensive game, Jean-Louis has shown improvement in that area since joining the NCAA and does a good job shutting down opponents in the defensive end.
