Aberdeen forward Breault makes NCAA D1 commitment

December 30, 2019

The Aberdeen Wings, proud members of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), are pleased to announce that forward Jakob Breault has committed to play NCAA Division 1 hockey for the University of Alaska-Fairbanks in the WCHA.  

 

Breault, 20, joins Wings teammates Riley Murphy and Antonio DiPaolo, who also committed to Alaska-Fairbanks in the past few days. The 5’11/180 lbs native of Acton Vale, Quebec, came to the Aberdeen Wings from the Notre Dame Hounds of the SJHL.  

 

Breault was a first round pick by the Wings in the 2019 NAHL Draft.  So far during the 2019-20 season, Breault leads the Wings in scoring, playing in 30 games and recording 11 goals and 22 assists for 33 points with a +11 rating.

 

“Jakob possesses high hockey intelligence that allows him to not only play big minutes, but also a large roll for the Wings. He has been a huge piece of our first half success and will be a great addition at Alaska-Fairbanks,” said Wings Head Coach Scott Langer.

 

“I am honored to announce my commitment to play Division 1 hockey at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. I would like to thank all my teammates, my coaches, friends, family, billets and the wings family who helped me through the process. I look forward to being a Nanook,” said Breault.
