With a year as captain of his BCHL team now on his resume, Cowichan Valley Capitals forward has decided on a college hockey opportunity for next season.
After his lone BCHL campaign in 2017-18, MacTavish will suit up next season at the University of Wisconsin-Superior.
The native of Kanata, Ont. posted 13 goals and 25 assists while playing all 58 games for the Caps last season. His 25 helpers tied him for second-most on the team.
At Wisconsin-Superior, MacTavish will join a Yellow Jackets hockey program that competes in the NCAA’s Div. III Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC). The other teams in the WIAC men’s hockey loop are UW-Eau Claire, UW-Stevens Point, UW-Stout and UW-River Falls.
MacTavish becomes the first BCHL alum on the Yellow Jackets roster as they did not have a player from the league last season.
