Michael Hartviksen (AJHL) has committed to attend the University of Wisconsin – Stout for the 2009-2010 season.  Michael played for the Canmore Eagles in the AJHL’s south division where he was second in points and also served as the teams captain.  His former junior team praised his exceptional speed and natural scoring touch.  The  6’1 178lb 21 year old forward hails from Thunder Bay, Ontario. 

A speedy play-maker like Hartviksen will fill the loss of players like Jeff Wheeler.  Jeff Wheeler was known  for being shifty and fast on the ice always able to make things happen, even if some dangling was involved.  Hartviksen’s speed will another nice addition to Stout’s already fast forward lines and towering defenseman.
