North Stars’ Davidson commits to Concordia University
Rory Davidson’s junior hockey career came to a disappointing end with the Battlefords North Stars, but his playing days will continue. He has committed to Concordia University in Edmonton next season.
After being acquired from the Dauphin Kings of the Manitoba Junior League, the Delburne native used his speed to his advantage as he put up 18 points in 32 regular season games. He stepped up his game in the playoffs, scoring four goals and adding two assists in 10 games, despite a serious shoulder injury suffered in the opening round.
“It definitely hindered me a little bit but when it comes to playoffs, you have to put it all on the line and battle through,” Davidson said. “I have the summer to heal up and get ready for next year.”
Davidson said what grabbed his attention was the direction the program at Concordia is heading. There will be seven other freshmen starting with him for the Thunder in the 2016-17 season.
