The British Columbia Hockey League's Salmon Arm SilverBacks are pleased to announce that defenceman Charlie Vasaturo has committed to attend Union College and suit up for the NCAA Division I Dutchmen for the 2011/12 season.
Vasaturo is a Sewell, New Jersey product who recently returned for his second season in Salmon Arm. He enjoyed a successful rookie campaign in the BCHL a year ago, scoring seven times and totalling 26 points while playing in all 60 regular season games. The 20-year old was recently named an Assistant Captain.
Union College is located in Schenectady, New York and competes in the ECAC. Vasaturo will join a number of former BCHLers at the school, including Salmon Arm grad Kelly Zajac and recent All-Star Kyle Bodie.
The SilverBacks would like to congratulate Charlie and his family on this scholarship commitment.
