A former captain of the Power Dodge Estevan Bruins has captured a national championship in the U.S.
Tanner Froese, who played for the Bruins from 2011 to 2014, and captained the club in the 2013-14 season, was part of the St. Norbert College Green Knights men's hockey team that won an NCAA Division III title on Saturday night. The Green Knights defeated the Salve Regina University Seahawks 3-2 in double overtime in the national title game in Lake Placid, N.Y.
Froese, a senior on the Green Knights, had three assists in the game and was named the most valuable player of the tournament.
The victory capped Froese's four-year collegiate career with the Green Knights, and an outstanding senior season. He led the Green Knights in goals with 14, assists with 17 and points with 31. He was also named a first-team All-American.
