Russell Kosec of the Grand Forks Border Bruins has committed to play collegiate hockey with the Drury University Panthers in the American Collegiate Hockey Association this fall.
The Kelowna native led the Border Bruins blueline in points with 44 in 42 games. Not only did that point total establish a new career high for him – he became the organization’s all-time leader in points by a defenceman with 84 in 110 career regular season Kootenay International Junior Hockey League games.
He played a key part in the Border Bruins historic season in which they finished first overall in the KIJHL, winning the President’s Trophy. He then put up 21 points in 17 KIJHL Teck Cup games, helping them win their first ever league championship and then the Mowat Cup provincial championship.
During the Mowat Cup, the just turned 21-year-old collected two assists in four games. In 33 career playoff games, Kosec finished with 32 points.
