After a season that saw the Klippers place just two points out of top spot in their division, the off-season that has followed has also been a successful one.
Announced today were the signing of two Klippers alumni to University/College hockey programs.
Josh Fletcher will continue his hockey career in Harrison, New York at Manhattanville College. Fletcher spent three seasons with the Klippers (spending part of the 2016-2017 season with Humboldt) and finished last season with 34 points in 47 games.
