Former McGill forward Maxime Pellerin has committed to Nebraska Omaha, it was announced late last week.
Hailing from Victoriaville, Que., Pellerin spent this past season playing for the Redbirds, scoring 10 goals and adding 15 assists for 25 points in 26 regular season games. With McGill having made the playoffs, Pellerin put up four goals and five points in five games.
Prior to making his way to U Sports, Pellerin spent five seasons playing in the QMJHL with the Victoriaville Tigres. Over 282 career regular season games, Pellerin collected 110 goals and 128 assists for 238 points. Pellerin grew up playing his minor hockey for College Claretain and the Trois-Rivieres Estacades.
With Pellerin making the jump to the NCAA, he joins a flurry of U Sports talent making the jump to the Mavericks. While the majority of the commits come from Western Canada, Pellerin proved he's a difference maker in U Sports and should do the same as he makes the jump to Div. I.
